Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox

As per one suggestion in Bug #270303, I deleted the "localstore.rdf"
files in my .mozilla/firefox/blahblahblahdefault folders in order to fix
the problem described in that report. It worked, but ever since then I
am unable to "X" out of Firefox. That is, I can't close FF with the
"Close Window "X" button in the upper right-hand side of the window; I
can only do so using File >> Quit, and this of course shuts down every
instance, not just the active window. Pop-ups, of course, don't have a
"File" option, so I can't help but shut down Firefox entirely. Very
annoying.

Furthermore, as per a suggestion in UbuntuForums, I completely
uninstalled FF, deleted my .mozilla folder, rebooted and then
reinstalled FF. Oddly enough, I think this solution worked for a short
time (and I had forgotten just how fast FF is without plugins and add-
ons!) But soon thereafter, the problem was back... assuming it was ever
really gone. I may have been mistaken about that.

I'm on Ubuntu 8.10, using Firefox 3.0.8. thank you for any help you can
give.
