I thought that too, but its actually Tab Mix Plus. In the TMP Preferences -> Events -> Tab Closing you'll find "Do not close window when closing last tab by hotkey" unchecked. Speaking of tabs, can I say what a horribly bad idea putting a tiny little "close" button on a tiny little tab is? X-Chat Aqua used to do this but they sensible took it out. Firefox used to do this but they unsensibly put it back in! Fortunately Tab Mix Plus can take it back out again (and configure it in all sorts of interesting ways). Yay extensible UI! Boo dangerous defaults! Its like putting a "self destruct" button on the right hand side of all the tables in your house. Carelessly put a cup down in the wrong spot and *boop*! Your table and cup disappear! And the best part is, there's no undo! (something else Tab Mix Plus fixes) BAHAHAHAA, silly user!There's stuff above here
