After bug 1506173, there's now a separate pref, browser.sessionstore.warnOnQuit , which you can use to have a quit warning if you have session restore enabled. There's also a checkbox in the prefs/options for this feature. If session restore is not enabled, browser.tabs.warnOnClose still governs whether you get a confirmation warning (if there are multiple tabs). We don't intend to add a third, separate pref/warning for people who *do* want to have a quit warning, *don't* turn on session restore, and *don't* want warnings when closing windows / multiple tabs (ie making browser.tabs.warnOnClose = false + no automatic session restore + browser.warnOnQuit = true show a dialog is not something we're interested in doing. The "point" of the warning is to avoid losing tabs that you can't currently see / may have forgotten you had; from that perspective, wanting a warning for quitting but not for closing a window with multiple tabs doesn't really make sense). Keeping this bug open doesn't really make sense given we've fixed part of it and don't want to make further changes as implied by the bug. But we don't have a "partly fixed" resolution value. So to close this, I have to pick an imperfect resolution value. I'm going to go with "works for me", because the more recent comments here, as well as the proposed patch, are all about the case where people *do* have session restore enabled, which now has an option (that is also exposed in the preferences/options, not just about:config) to do what this bug wants. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/583797 Title: "Warn on closing with multiple tabs open" not honored To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/firefox/+bug/583797/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
