Suggestion: close special PM windows after closing PM

You know this situation: You have closed last page-view window of PaleMoon, but other special PaleMoon windows will not closed automatically. You must close them manually.

I mean such special PaleMoon windows as Library (there is Tags, Bookmarks, Downloads..) and perhaps other windows.
I'm not really sure that this is correct behavior of windows.

It seems to me that if I close program which caused windows, then this program has to close automatically all windows which it caused.
I don't still see a situation at which I would cause some window and it must work without the PaleMoon program.

If you properly close the browser with "Exit", all "special windows" as you call them are also closed.
If you just close a browsing window, then you close that window.

Ergo: the browser does exactly as you instruct it.

I like being able to close the browser and have downloads continue. I click 'Downloads' just to make it a separate process that doesn't exit mid-download when I close the browser (because I forgot there was a download in progress).
