Clicking "X" button in top right only closes current tab?

I'm stumped. I Just updated from Firefox 3.6.xx (not sure which version exactly) to Firefox 12.0. Everything's fine and dandy, except instead of closing the window, as you'd expect clicking the red X in the top right would do, it only closes the current tab. This is rather frustrating, seeing as how I frequently end my browsing sessions with multiple tabs open, and I am not enjoying needing to click five or ten times.

Is there any way to set my close window button to actually close the window, instead of the current tab?


I'm currently using the Royal Blue 1.2.0 theme, if that's any help.

Hello Valthero

when you clicking the red X in the top right the correct is to closes the window(as you said) not the current tab, check it in Safe Mode, in Safe Mode window select "Start in Safe Mode" and see if this happen again, if not see: Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems

Your post prompted me to check all my add-ons. Turns out the problem was the Hide Caption Titlebar Plus 2.7.2 add-on. For whatever reason, one of the default options in it is to change the X to close the current tab. Thank you for your time.
