While I was customizing my FF30 {again} I closed my last tab by accident and found out you have to open a second window as closing the customization tab/window,

Also my reload button (not on the address bar) doesn't work . My magnifier, download both disappeared. My Ghostery, Stop Load and Save Image buttons also disappeared. This was right after Microsoft update on Win7.

I've fixed everything, but I miss having my bookmarks on the bottom {too much clutter at the top, even to the point where I wish my address bar would hide off of the screen } {rant over }

If you close the last tab, does that not close Firefox? You could get a tab by opening a new tab if that is not the case. Ctrl-t opens a new tab.

You can toggle the browser.tabs.closeWindowWithLastTab pref to false to prevent that closing the last present tab from closing Firefox.

You can open the about:config page via the location bar and you can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue

The customization window stayed open as I didn't try to close it, but none of my bookmarks worked. Never thought about Ctrl-T though. It's just a glitch.

You can't visit a website or open a bookmark as long as the customize window is open and you are still in customize mode.
