i noticed that firefox can't no longer closed an opened window using "cmd"+"w" since version 7.0.1. i have to close the window by clicking the "x" button on the upper left corner instead. i just updated to version 8 today and the problem still existed. it has never happened in previous version.

this is quite annoying especially for pop-ups.

is it a bug or a newly added feature? how can i restore it to the way it was?

thanks
