Hi there, After upgrading to Firefox 8 for mac osx I am unable to close a browser window using command w, or command shift w? Is there any way I can correct this as it is very annoying? Cheers Guy imac 2.93 GHz Intel Core i7 osx 10.6.8

It only happens for me on pages where I've allowed some Flash element to play (I have Flashblocker) such as a YouTube video.
