Build ID: 20130511120803

Steps to reproduce:

Clicked close-button in about:sync-progress when it is the only tab, this closes FF in latest FF i.e. : FF21, (probably FF20), and Aurora 23a2. Tested in safe mode. Tested in new profile.


Actual results:

FF closes completely after clicking close button in about:sync-progress when only 1 tab exists.


Expected results:

FF not close, but give me my homepage in a single tab.

I guess it's the same behaviour when you close the single tab, it closes Firefox too.

"Your data is now being encrypted and uploaded in the background. You can close this tab and continue using Firefox."

So the message from about:sync-progress says that it will close the tab so I also think that it is the expected behavior. It would be nice to jump to the homepage when "Close" is clicked or a new button "Home" that will send to homepage.

Closing since we don't have a about:sync-progress page anymore.
