How to make close last tab actually open SuperStart rather then closing Firefox?
Is there a way to make Firefox (or SuperStart) NOT close Firefox when the last tab is closed? I'd prefer for it to act like Opera in that it would make the SuperStart tab page appear instead. This way I have to choose to close Firefox by actually closing Firefox (such as clcking the red "x" in the corner of Firefox, etc).
Just because I don't want the last tab open does NOT mean I want to close my browser.
As a result of this current behavior, when I reopen Firefox I end up with that last tab showing up again, which of course I don't want either.

Could you try this and see whether it gives the effect that you want? When you close the last tab in the window, Firefox will display the "new tab" page.
(1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste tabs and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click the browser.tabs.closeWindowWithLastTab preference to switch its value from true to false.
Press Ctrl+n to open a new tab, then Ctrl+w to close the tab. Helpful?

Also make SuperStart your home page.
Thanks FredMcD - it already was, but thanks for pointing it out just in case.
jscher2000 - Thanks. That did it once I went to the about:config. I can't believe this isn't exposed in the GUI anywhere (at least not anywhere I could find it.)
Ahhhh! Now it works as expected.
Thanks to all who responded.
Why isn't it in the UI? Good question. Good suggestion.
