If you want the latter approach you can use my patch script here:

Just note you have to run this every time you update Firefox.
Thanks; I had actually previously tried manually unpacking and re-packing the omni.ja file, but the step to remove the startupCache was new to me. I'm afraid the patch still didn't seem to work for me. I have the Shortkeys extension installed and set to block Ctrl+W, but the tab still closed when I pressed the dreaded shortcut. So I guess there's still something I'm missing. But never mind - the solution using KWin to filter input to the window should work just fine for me for the time being. (At least until everything moves to Wayland :p) Cheers, Paul
