Thanks; I had actually previously tried manually unpacking and

The cache clear is important, but also a mistake people make trying to

the omni.ja file is not padding the replacement with spaces so
everything is
still in the expected byte positions.
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.
The patch doesn't change the key binding in Firefox, it only unlocks it
from
the reserved bindings list so that you *can* remove the assignment or
assign it
to something else. After patching you still need to go into your Firefox
binding configuration and remove or re-assign the CTRL-W to something
else.
