Are you sure you want to continue? 4) What happens instead is one is not warned and the window closes. PARTIAL WORKAROUND: about:config -> browser.tabs.maxOpenBeforeWarn -> change from 15 to 2. This will pop up the confirmation box clicking the X and Alt+Space -> C only. + + WORKAROUND: Disable Ctrl+Q quiting the browser by installing keyconfig add-on: + http://mozilla.dorando.at/keyconfig.xpi + + Then Tools -> Add-Ons -> Extensions -> keyconfig Preferences -> + highlight Quit -> Disable Original Reporter Comments: I found a "workaround" that says to set "open to a blank page" somewhere else, and I set this, but it still doesn't warn me. I work from home and frequently spend an hour or so putting in data, all on one screen. If I accidentally hit the stupid little x (which is now in the left hand corner just where you don't need it, it is too easy to hit it by accident, but i can't change this, it comes with the distro), i lose all that work. Please tell me how to fix this terrible bug.
