type about config: into the address bar
In the search box at the top of the window type "browser.tabs.closeWindowWithLastTab" (no quotes and you don't need to capitalize)
double-click to change the value to false.
Restart FFX

Second question:
Go into your Firefox preferences and in the general section under "Tabs" check "Open new windows in a new tab" and "When I click on a link in a new tab, switch to it immediately" (if you want that particular behaviour)
