OnWindowClose Event?

[Rob]

I want to caputure the last URL the user visited before the browser
(firefox) is closed?
Is there any method that I can call? Onpageunload() works?

And capture it to where? To IE or Safati?

How would Onpageunload() know you are gowing to close the browser?

That is what I am wondering about. I want to write it to some files,
some FireFox extensions allow you to do that.
OnPageUnload obviously does not qualify because it cannot distinguish
whether the user closed the browser/tab or
simply navigate to another URL. Any idea?

Yes, I think it is impossible in a unchanged [by plugins, etc] browser,
since it is non of the business of the page to know what I do with my
browser, and rightfully so.
