Just so you know there is no technical reason to close them, the system only keeps the last ten open.

I think it’s important to make it more widely known that this is a feature by design.  I had a similar question and saw a similar forum post a few weeks ago.  I quickly began benefiting by leaving the tabs open so I have fast access to recently viewed contacts.  Wouldn’t want it any other way now.

Well that IS good to know!

I’m going to jump in and put in another vote for this feature as there is a productivity issue with this feature lacking.  If I’m trying to focus on working on an account that has the company and 5 contacts open on my desktop, wait a minute there’s six, he’s not related to this work, where do I know him from oh, crap why can’t I just close all and open only the records I’m interested in working on.  As it is it’s close, close, close, close, ok, now I can focus on this account.  It really is quite annoying.

it’s not a deal breaker for me but i see the use-case.

“open all contacts related to project”
“open all projects related to contact”

that would be pretty cool but not life changing.

Now for netbooks, it would be awesome to let you go fullscreen on a project or contact (hiding the sidebars).

Ok, here’s a thought, what about simply when you close and reopen the contact window if it opens with no tabs open - starting with a fresh page that’s what I’m looking for.
