Hello Wonderful Gnome Monkeys,
I just noticed that in Factory, Firefox->Help->About Firefox does not have a close button in the titlebar. Therefore the only way to close it is to right click the titlebar and choose Close. Hi Press the esc key?

That works too. But a close button would be better for users who don't use keyboard keys to control their windows.

I have Aurora (firefox alpha) installed in /home, and this version has the close button. So I suspect this will be fixed in the next version of firefox. //Bjørn -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help@opensuse.org

Hmm, this was reported some time ago affecting Gnome Shell but noone ever told me that was a Firefox bug. I always was under the impression this is a Gnome issue.

Apparently it is. I just downloaded Firefox 5 on KDE and the close button appears. So a problem in Gnome or maybe this type of window isn't even supposed to have a close button. The Firefox devs would need to make the About window close when there is a click anywhere on the screen. Like the Virtualbox About window.

Firefox Bug report #608934 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=608934#c15 This indeed has already been solved for Gnome 3 in Firefox 7
