[Bug 230102]
(In reply to Dr George Collins from comment #169) I also discovered that bug 419009 re-appears with an otherwise clean profile if one just changes one simple setting!!! I just have to change an otherwise clean profile from the default of Show my home page. to Show my windows and tabs from last time. Tools Options General Startup When Firefox starts: I confirm that Firefox version 7.0.1 also acts correctly as stated in comment 161, if and only if in Show my home page or Show a blank page. When placing it in Show my windows and tabs from last time both X and File/Exit close down without confirmation. None of the mentioned parameters of about:config are changed in either case. -- 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

(In reply to Parkhideh from comment #170) (In reply to Dr George Collins from comment #169) Mind reading is difficult, so lets call it reverse engineering :) The problem stated in comment 169 stems from a confusion that, without approval, I will explain it this way: When confirmation popup window appears, we have three choices of Save and QuitQuit Cancel Now both Quit and Cancel are straight forward; but what should Firefox do with the Save and Quit? The answer is that it currently Saves the tabs and Quits but then it violates the setting of Show my home page on the next start up by starting all the tabs that it has saved. Had the designers thought this through; there is a need for another popup window, this time on start up, that would give users two choices: Start with default settingStart with saved tabs (default setting being my home page or a blank page) If my explanation is anything close to reality; then it is not hard to understand why the designers thought it useless to ask for confirmation in comment 169. Next round starts as it was closed; hence why ask any questions. And, I do not agree because some tabs may be logged sessions, like this one. :) -- 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

(In reply to Parkhideh from comment #117) Win 2000, Firefox 3.0 A-4 can not find parameter browser.tabs.warnOnQuit Because of the above report on Firfox 3.0; I went back to Firefox 3.6.8 and saw that all three parameters were implemented by this version. The Close and Exit with multi-tab behavior in Firefox 3.6.8 is identical to that reported for version 7.0.1. So regarding comments 159, 162 and 163 is the issue returning in newer Firefox versions or is it OS related? -- 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

(In reply to Peter Ford from comment #158) Now I've found a simple workaround. In about:config, set browser.showQuitWarning to true. Using Firefox 7.0.1; Windows 2000: *** about:config was browser.warnOnQuit;true browser.showQuitWarning;false browser.tabs.warnOnClose;true above setting will give a multiple TAB warning if Firefox is closed by X on the upper right corner of its window. It will NOT give a warning if closed via File/Exit --- changed about:config browser.warnOnQuit;true browser.showQuitWarning;true browser.tabs.warnOnClose;true above setting will give a multiple TAB warning if Firefox is closed by X on the upper right corner of its window. It will also give a warning if closed via File/Exit --- I have no idea what else is affected by this change and in which version of Firefox :) -- 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
