Recent reviews
It creates some sort of invisible popup window which sometimes prevents the Fireforx tabs from being closed. It does not happen always and I had hard time figuring this out. If you click the close button of a tab a toolwindow close button appears over the Firefox main window close button and the tab close action is prevented - it is how I found this out. I like it overall, but that is unacceptable.
