I want ALT+F4 to close the active Tab (CTRL+W) rather than the whole window.

Since I've bound the "Close" (ALT+F4) action to one of the auxiliary mouse buttons, when I'm in Firefox I'd like the button to close a tab instead of the whole window.

Binding another mouse button to CTRL+W could be done, but I'd like to have only one button to the "Close" action bound in the mouse and I want it to close a single tab not all the window in Firefox.

Thank you.

You can use Ctrl+F4 to close the current tab. I don't think that you can change the Alt+F4 action with Keyconfig.

I see that Keyconfig extension is not available for Firefox 3.6.10 either.
