I met a strange problem with Firefox application on Firefox4.0 beta11. Here is the code: 

use WWW::Mechanize;
use WWW::Mechanize::Firefox;
use Firefox::Application;


my $mech = WWW::Mechanize::Firefox->new(activate=>1,launch=>'C:\\Progr
+am Files\\Mozilla Firefox 4.0 Beta 11\\firefox.exe');            
$mech->get('www.google.com');


my $repl=$mech->repl;
my $ff=$mech->application();
my $curr=$ff->selectedTab();
$ff->activateTab($curr,$repl);


$ff->closeTab($curr,$repl);
undef $mech;
undef $ff;

[download]

The problem happens with the code: 

$ff->closeTab($curr,$repl);

[download]

Where perl informs following error: MozRepl::RemoteObject: TypeError:P is null at C:/Perl/site/lib/Firefox/Application.pm line 306.

This results in firefox tab closing fail...

Anyway the above codes works in firefox 3.6. Mozrepl version in my firefox is:MozRepl 1.1beta2.

Is this a bug of firefox application?
