I want the default behavious of the Close Window button to close the window [Alt-F4] and not close my active tab.

I am using Tab-Mix-Plus and I have a close tab button on each tab.

The default behavious of the Close Button on the Window level: Close, Maximise and Minimise is to close the Window.

If Firefox is changing this behaviour then this should be an option to revert this.

I did this on another machine but I am not able to do this on FF46. Even a google search does not bring up the results I want. I have the issue with FF46 on Windows 7 x86_64 and not my Linux machine - where I am raising the report ...

I see options to add another button to close the window, but I want the default "Close Window" button to close the Window.

Chosen solution

I found the problem:- Plugin: "hide caption Titlebar Plus"

This plugin had changed the default option of "Close Window" to "Close Active Tab". 

 - There was a toggle to revert to the default FF action of "Close Window"

I have now fixed my problem.
