Description
I have a quirk happening when I start a new browser window, and the first thing I want to do is close the current tab. When I do that, the entire browser closes instead, and when I restart it, the session is completely gone. That is to say, when it opens up it no longer has any open tabs.
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Make sure you use "keep tabs open" and have some tabs open then shut the browser down
- Open browser
- Close tab via 'x' (I have it bound to w)
- Session is removed and browser shuts down
Vimium: 2.3.1
LibreWolf 144.0.2-1

Research direction
No files or tests are named. Reproduce the fresh-session flow with “keep tabs open” enabled, then trace the Close Tab keybind and session-restoration entry points. Done means closing the first tab ends only that tab and preserves the remaining session rather than shutting down the browser.
