                    close it after use

SUMMARY
Even though it's rare that I have to open folders within root directories, it
still happens. Managing root folders in Dolphin is annoying, because by default
it can't do anything in there, and you have to "Open as Administrator" the
issue is that it creates a new tab for this for no reason and doesn't close the
old one or the new one after admin permissions run out, creating a lot of
clutter and confusing. 

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Go to / or any folder that is not in /home
2. Do "Open as Administrator"

OBSERVED RESULT
Every time it opens a new tab that will continue existing even when it no
longer has root access

EXPECTED RESULT
The new tab should be closed after it loses admin permissions, or it should
just replace the old tab to avoid confusion and clutter
