If there is only one tab open, the tab isn't supposed to be closed.
This is the default behavior with the close button in Firefox and
Thunderbird. That the close button was visible on a single open tab in
prior versions was an oversight.
But that's not the default behaviour in SeaMonkey where a single tab is
still closable. What happens if you close the last tab is that a new
blank tab automatically opens.
You mean it happens that way on purpose?
What if you have the pref selected to "Hide the tab bar when only one
tab is open"? Nothing goes blank in that case. Are users keeping the
tab bar visible with only one tab just so they can create a blank
screen? I guess I'm having difficulty understanding the logic behind it.
I don't know. It's been like this since Mozilla Suite 1 point something
and probably back to Netscape 4x as well.
I'm actually thinking it is not intended behavior since the right-click
menuitem for "Close Tab" on a single tab is disabled. It would be simple
enough to fix, but it sounds like folks like it the way it is. :)
The SeaTab X that I have been using for a few years or so, always had an
X in every tab header including a single one. Now, I've lost that with
the latest version. Personally, I thought the earlier way was ideal as
it makes it very clear that the user doesn't have an active tab.
