Looking for addon to minimise instead of exit when Close button is clicked

I’m not sure if I’m posting in the right place. I’ve been referred here from the Mozilla forums.

I’d like to find an addon to make the close button in FF act like the minimise button instead of closing the program. An alternative would be to hide or disable the button.

This is because I have the bad habit of hitting the close button when ending a session in FF. I then have the annoying wait to reopen it and reinput my master password when I need FF again. I know there is a minimise button, but old habits die hard, and I doubt if I can train myself to use that button instead of the close button.

SourceForge have an addon for Outlook which does exactly what I want. I think it is called KeepOutlookRunning. I wonder if it could be adapted for FireFox.

Try MinimizeToTray revived and select “minimize instead of closing” in options.
