      Very simple add-on that closes the current tab and make Firefox forget about the visit: suppressing cookies related to the current page, cleaning (beware : may be partial) the browser history and so on.

      Discontinued

      The extension is no longer updated since July 2013 and it doesn't work on Firefox 57 and later. It still works on XUL-based Firefox forks like Waterfox and Pale Moon
