→Con: On further thought, having an extension is both a con and a pro (con because you can already do it, pro because it means someone cared enough to do it so it's possibly an omission)
* Firefox supports multiwindow tabless browsing; ctrl-w not closing the window along with its directly contained document is inconsistent with IE6 and other tabless applications.
* The current document-centric ctrl-w behavior discards a window, as it does a tab, when the window no longer contains a document. The proposal makes the window widget "heavier" favoring it over the document concept; instead of the application getting out of the way when the user is done with the document, it demands that the user deal specifically with the window to close it with e.g. a different keybinding.
* This can currently be done via an extension (although not aware of an extension that does this and only this).
==Should this be a preference?==
