Chosen solution

"Customize and controls Nightly" -> "Exit" is the same as using File (or Firefox) > Exit and is usually the preferred way to close Firefox, especially if there are problems with using the close X.

Note that you can still have the menu bar visible in the current Nightly builds, but you need an extension to get the Firefox menu button.

Also the X on title bar only closes that one window and not everything as Exit does.
