When closing a window I would like to be returned to my home page, but foxfire closes
When I close a window, foxfire closes. I would like to be returned to my home page when I close a window or to another window which is still open.
This happened
Every time Firefox opened

If you close a window with the "X" in the upper right corner, any other Firefox windows will remain open.
If you close a window using File > Exit, ALL Firefox windows will close.
If you are having a problem with tabs when you have only one Firefox window open, post back with further details.

- NOTE: On Vista and Windows 7 you may need to run the plugin installer as Administrator by starting the installer via the right-click context menu if you do not get an UAC prompt to ask for permission to continue (i.e nothing seems to happen).
