Changes
added an alternative suggestion (dependency on tab bar visibility)
===Con having a pref===
* It would introduce yet another preference, when the overall direction seems to be towards reducing the number of preferences.

===Behavior dependent on tab bar visibility===
Instead of creating yet-another-pref, why not have this behavior dependent on tab bar visibility: if you choose to not hide the tab bar with only one tab left, you stay in tabbed browsing mode and Ctrl+W blanks the tab - mimicking an MDI application; otherwise you leave tabbed browsing mode and Ctrl+W closes the window as other SDI applications are closed (e.g. MSIE and Windows Explorer). --[[User:Zeniko|zeniko]] 14:59, 14 Mar 2006 (PST)
'''Pro'''
* You have the choice, but no new preference is needed
* The behavior is logically tied to either pseudo-MDI- or pseudo-SDI-mode (since Firefox is a hybrid, you can choose what side it should tend to)
* You see what the current behavior is (visible or hidden tab bar)
* The current default behavior remains unchanged
'''Con'''
* The difference between pseudo-MDI- and pseudo-SDI-mode isn't always obvious
* You'll need an extension if you want to break this logical tie
==Question==
