Hello,

I'm looking for a way to not close Firefox when closing the first tab. This used to exist before Quantum.
Thank you in advance.

Configuration: Windows 10 Home - X751MJ - Intel Pentium - 64 bits

    Hello,

    A setting in Firefox's configuration editor allows you to prevent the last tab from closing when you close the last tab.

    Clear everything in the address bar and copy/paste:

    about:config

    Then hit Enter

    Click on → I accept the risk



    In the search box, copy/paste:

    browser.tabs.closeWindowWithLastTab



    The default value is set to → true



    You need to change the value to → false
    A simple double-click is enough
    Or right-click on the line → toggle



    A+
