How can I close the last tab without closing Firefox?

Author: seven August 7, 2009

If you are annoyed by this behaviour as I am, enter about:config in address bar and press enter. Search for key browser.tabs.closeWindowWithLastTab and set it to false. Presto, no auto FireFox closing! :) Just be sure to close it from time to time to clean up his horrifying memory leaks.
