Recently upgraded to 61.0.1 on Debian stretch. ctrl-w doesn't close tabs (but ctrl-f4 does). Can I change anything to make this work? I've confirmed that my window-manager etc is not grabbing ctrl-w and this worked fine in previous Firefox I had.

WHaaaaaa? Now it works. I haven't changed anything on my end (that I know of). Not even logging-out/-in.

To repeat, I can do: ctrl-t for new tab, then ctrl-w does nothing but an immediate ctrl-f4 closes the new tab
