874223 - firefox web console's "network message window" cannot be closed, constantly pops up in my way

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 590558

(Firefox :: Untriaged, defect)

Description

[Johannes Raggam]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:21.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/21.0 (Beta/Release)
Build ID: 20130512193848

Steps to reproduce:

goto: Tools > Web  Developer > Developer Toolbar > Toggle Developer Tools > Web Console, clicked on a request and the "Network Message Window" appeared.


Actual results:

Shows up, but cannot be closed (no button. tried <ESC>, <q>, <CTRL-W> (closes window and with it the popup, but this is not what i want), <CTRL>-<Q>, etc).
Moving the popup away doesn't help much since a auto refresh seems to reposition it to some smart place, which is almost always just in my way.


Expected results:

- Provide a button + shortcut to close this popup.
- Don't do the smart repositioning, which is absolutly annoying.

my setup:
ubuntu 13.04 with current firefox (cannot see version info, which is somewhere hidden because the popup seems to always have the focus)
awesome-wm
no window decoration (no window-title close button, etc).
