Well, in other browsers, there's a confirm-on-quit prompt. In multi- window or multi-tab applications like Microsoft Word, if you have unsaved changes, it confirms before quitting. I can't really speak to other things like text editors, mostly because I don't use Macs much anymore. However, I do think it's important to note that in the context of web browsers, other browsers in OS X confirm on quit, and Firefox, as has been mentioned multiple times, used to confirm on quit. That part is key - the functionality was removed, versus never being there in the first place. Hence, the program is no longer behaving as expected. > Hear! > > This discussion reminds me of the stubborn refusal of google contacts to > support the iso 8601 date format (YYYY-MM-DD). Sad. Pidgin went through the same thing in 2008 when the UI was overhauled. They lost a lot of users as a result of the developers' refusal to even consider reverting some of the more ridiculous changes. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/230102 Title: No warning when closing multiple tabs To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/firefox/+bug/230102/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
