Seems similar to bug 515679.

This is happening to me with 3.6.2 and only started happening since my latest upgrade.

When I close the AOL Read mail child window, it closes Firefox. It has also on occasion happened when one page opens a new page instead of a new tab and I close the new page.

It does not seem to care if multiple tabs are open which is different than when I try to close the main windows and multiple tabs are open.

This bug has had the CLOSEME tag for several weeks and the date in the tag is far gone. If the reporter can still see this issue, Please retest with Firefox 3.6.x or later and a new profile (http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Managing+profiles). Then please remove the closeme tag in the whiteboard, mark the bug against the proper version and comment on the bug.
