I guess it's a matter of taste. I don't like the last page
sitting there because it may still be doing stuff, such
as autmatically refresh or play horrible music (although
that kind of pages usually get closed long before they
are the last tab left). Subconsciously there are probably
more reasons.

And I'm not just watching this empty page sitting there.
Usually FF is minimized, waiting to jump back into action.
