  "textContent": "> Hello,\n> I would like to suggest changing the default behavior of the setting:\n> Preferences → Tabs → \"Close the window when the last tab is closed\"\n> Currently, this option is enabled by default.\n> I think it would be better if it were disabled by default instead.\n> Many modern browsers keep the window open after the last tab is closed, which helps prevent accidental browser exits and provides a more convenient workflow for users who often reopen or create new tabs.\n> Of course, users who prefer the current behavior could still enable the option manually.\n> Thank you for considering this suggestion.\n\nThat's one of the beautiful things with Pale Moon. I set this to disabled once, long ago, and it's persisted in the profile through **_all_** the updates since.\nThe default for GUI options is just a temporary book cover that reads \"your browser, your way\".\n(If I had a grumble, it would be not being able to close ctrl+f and ctrl+j with the same shortcut, but there are addons for that too, if I really, really, wanted to)\n\n* * *",
