True; the status of this bug should be changed to "FIXED". Finally, after eleven (!) years, I see the warning as it should have always been the case.

I think this has been fixed. I changed browser.sessionstore.warnOnQuit to true, have all the other warnings set to true, and when I tried to close this private browsing window it warned me. I also have 'restore previous session' set (http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser.startup.page is 3). I didn't have this warning before, ever since it changed in like Firefox 4 or whatever.

Yes, and this is an absurd behavior. I want the browser to always ask for confirmation before quitting.

Indeed, it works for me too. To anyone wondering: the new setting is browser.sessionstore.warnOnQuit. When set to true, you'll get a warning when closing the browser even when session restore is enabled (browser.warnOnQuit still needs to be true too).

[Bug 230102]
I have a feeling that this discussion is getting more and more out of hand (and ridiculous as well). I think the point a lot of people are trying to make here (myself included) is that there are situations when the USER expresses his wish to be warned before Firefox is closed (regardless of the fact whether the quit command is issued via Alt+Q, Alt+F4 or close button) by checking e.g. the warn me when closing multiple tabs option (or setting the appropriate variables in about:config), the user's choice should be respected. Otherwise the options (that are supposed to change the closure behavior) are there only for show. That's kind of like a light switch that doesn't turn on anything. Which begs the question that do those options (like that light switch) serve a purpose at all? In case this not a bug, but a feature issue won't be fixed (and all the developers and whatnot will persist on this stubborn stance), let me point out something else too: up until now it seemed to me that one of the main goals of the Firefox developer team was to create a browser that's better than the rest on the market (especially IE). However if the prompting on quit capability will be left intentionally broken, it'll be for the first time in history when Firefox developers will make their flagship product worse than the others on purpose (especially compared to IE, where -upon request- a prompt is displayed both when pressing Alt+F4 or the close button). I sincerely hope that this isn't the path you want to take. It's been previously mentioned that related issues should be discussed within separate bug entries. Does that mean that the bug I reported on (bug 944394 and which previously has been marked as a duplicate of this one) should be disassociated from this endless discussion and treated as a separate issue too? -- 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 Sam Steingold from comment #203) To be fair, this is a problem for _all_ mac os apps. Cmd+W closes windows/tabs in all apps, and none of them asks for a confirmation on Cmd+Q. However, in all other apps accidental quitting is not a big deal. 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 (-MM-DD). Sad. Pidgin went through the same thing in 2008 when the UI was overhauled.

(In reply to :Gavin Sharp (email ga...@gavinsharp.com) from comment #198) I'm open to other suggestions (in new bugs) on other ways to make accidental quitting more difficult, but I don't think adding a prompt me on quit checkbox or tying a prompt to the existing warn on closing multiple tabs checkbox are viable ones. Do you use OS X on a regular basis? The default keyboard shortcut for quitting any application in OS X is Cmd+Q. The default keyboard shortcut in Firefox and other browsers to close a single tab is Cmd+W. The Q and W keys are directly next to each other on a standard QWERTY keyboard. Consequently, it is very easy to fat-finger the shortcut to close a tab and end up quitting the browser instead. To make accidental quitting in OS X more difficult, there absolutely *needs* to be a confirmation prompt asking if you're sure you meant to quit your open browser session with multiple open tabs. There is no other way to confirm an accidental quit. Your arguments as to why this isn't viable have, so far, been completely subjective and provide no technological reason why the confirm-on-quit prompt, which previously existed for many years in the OS X build of Firefox, has been removed and *cannot be added back*. Saying we want to favor less prompting and using session restore instead does absolutely nothing to prevent the accidental quitting of the running browser. Nobody is demanding that a confirm-on-quit prompt be mandatory. We are stating, however, that this prompt used to exist in Firefox and has arbitrarily been removed, and such a prompt is *consistent behavior across multiple operating systems and multiple web browsers*. Every other web browser in OS X behaves in this manner. Firefox behaves in this manner in other operating systems. Firefox used to behave in this manner in OS X, and it has saved many of us from accidentally quitting an open browser session when trying to just close a tab using the default Cmd+W keyboard shortcut. Nobody is going to point fingers at you and laugh if you swallow your pride and fix this.

(In reply to Sam Steingold from comment #191) People are unhappy about the behavior - just look at the number of dupes, votes, and the size of the CC list. For every person taking the trouble to report the bug, untold thousands are cursing you under their breath. We do not draw conclusions solely based on volume of Bugzilla activity, and we certainly don't extrapolate that feedback across our entire user base blindly. C-q should be protected by a warning. No other major browser - Opera or Chrome - has the obnoxious behavior of dying on a typo (wiping the sessions and downloads).

At a very high level, I do not think we will be changing the avoid prompting and make it easy to restore stance. You can choose whatever default behavior stance you deem best. What is at issue here is the user's ability to control the browser's behavior through configuration settings. It doesn't seem useful to have an ignore what the user asks for in his config stance. Making it easy to restore a session is a laudable goal. Crashes and other fatal failures happen, and the more straightforward it is to get back up and running, the better. The browser has gotten much better about this over time, and I'm happy there is an active effort to continue improving it. However, comment 187, comment 190, and the last sentence of comment 192 give some reasons (likely not an exhaustive list) why restoring a session can never be equivalent to keeping an existing one open for all users.

(In reply to Mike Connor [:mconnor] from comment #189) six years down the road I don't see any compelling rationale for changing this behaviour for the majority of users. 1) It is six years down the road because no one has fixed this rather simple bug in all that time. The time the bug has gone unaddressed should not be used as a rationale to continue to not address it. On the contrary, that a simple bug has not been fixed in six years -- along with the number of people who want it fixed, as Sam points out in the previous comment -- should be motivation to prioritize fixing it. 2) The behavior needn't change for a majority of users, only those users who specifically desire the warning, and so indicate in their browser preferences. Setting it to true does not force a prompt, nor is that intended behaviour. It is a change from behavior in older versions of Firefox. Where is this change in intent documented? The other cases seem like either corner cases we can decide on in isolation (i.e. better use of cache for restoring pages). It seems a whole lot simpler to just pop up a warning if the user has indicated he wants one. I'm not sure why the fix that can be done in a couple of hours, honors what the user has asked for in his preferences, and will satisfy all the people who have voted for this bug, is seen as an inferior solution to the one that will take much longer to implement and not even solve the problem (you cannot guarantee that the user has set his cache to be large enough to hold everything in every tab that's open). -- 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 :Gavin Sharp (email ga...@gavinsharp.com) from comment #193) (In reply to Sam Steingold from comment #191) We do not draw conclusions solely based on volume of Bugzilla activity, and we certainly don't extrapolate that feedback across our entire user base blindly. Nobody said that you should. This kind of rhetoric isn't very helpful. C-q should be protected by a warning. No other major browser - Opera or Chrome - has the obnoxious behavior of dying on a typo (wiping the sessions and downloads). As mentioned already in this bug, we do not wipe sessions and downloads on Cmd+Q. Nonetheless there's a plethora of cases that will cause data loss. I'm not claiming there are no problems with our existing behavior worth addressing, just that this bug is no longer a useful place to track them. There are other bugs that already cover related issues (bug 667912, bug 565567, bug 404081, bug 628156), and I encourage people to file new, narrowly focused bugs if they have specific suggestions/issues not already covered.

I'm not sure why this has turned into such a crusade on the part of the dev team. This same thing happened with Pidgin when long-maintained features were arbitrarily removed. Those devs were just as insistent that the changes were good. Some were reverted, others weren't, and the project lost a lot of users as a result. Firefox used to warn on quit in OS X. It still does in Windows and Linux. The behavior in OS X is inconsistent with the user experience in the context of both web browsers in general and Firefox specifically. At this point the refusal to fix this is simply stubbornness. You can keep coming up with reasons, but it doesn't change the fact that the current behavior is inconsistent.

(In reply to Mike Connor [:mconnor] from comment #189) I don't see any compelling rationale for changing this behaviour for the majority of users. You have been given several reasons, (and only one would do). I will note that browser.warnOnQuit is perhaps misnamed, as the only functionality it is intended to cover is as a hidden boolean to automatically suppress warnings when set to false. It exists to support test configurations. Setting it to true does not force a prompt, nor is that intended behaviour. It's curious that quitting a frame with multiple tabs prompts You about to close N tabs. Are you sure you want to continue [x]Warn me when I attempt to close multiple tabs [Cancel] [Close tabs] but not on Control+Q. If it's design it's poor. Also, downloads should resume with session restore, They do not [all]. and session cookies for all open tabs should also be restored by default. I'd say that was wrong, closing the browser should end a session - privacy and security. but if either behaviour is failing, we should file specifically scoped bugs for that issue. The other cases seem like either corner cases we can decide on in isolation (i.e. better use of cache for restoring pages). Anyone with clear history when Firefox closes set on will be disappointed by an involuntary closure. You must think someone uses this else it wouldn't exist! Note, Opera has such a warning.

(In reply to :Gavin Sharp (email ga...@gavinsharp.com) from comment #183) This bug has outlived its usefulness - our current warning behavior is weighed towards not warning, but allowing session restore if needed. To reiterate the previous comment, restoring a browser session is functionally not equivalent to keeping the current session open in many common cases (where page content may have changed on the server, where credentials are required, etc.). If there are specific issues those are best dealt with in narrower bugs. This bug documents that that Firefox does not respect the user's setting of the warn me when closing multiple tabs option. As that is a specific, narrow issue, your above-quoted sentence indicates that you have misunderstood this bug's purpose, and closed it based on this misunderstanding. I therefore request that it be reopened. It would also be nice if the bug were fixed.

Another reason restart is not equivalent is the placement of the frames and icons.

If there are specific issues those are best dealt with in narrower bugs. I agree that it works (if I create a brand new profile it does), but I do have an old profile (my main one, actually) where it doesn't. Still haven't figured out what's wrong with it, I just ended up getting used to not having the warning while the options pretend I do. Still our current warning behavior is weighed towards not warning, but allowing session restore if needed doesn't make sense with regards to the problem: either the option warn me when closing multiple tabs is respected or it isn't. Just because session restore works okay doesn't mean it's okay to disrespect the warning option... Actually, just before hitting post I had another quick look at the bug report and noticed this in comment #2: The relevant prefs are: browser.startup.page != 3 (3 means restart with last tabs) browser.warnOnQuit = true (means you haven't bypassed that warning) That seems damned wrong, browser.startup.page should not influence whether or not browser.warnOnQuit is respected: I want my session to be restored but I also want a warning when closing my session, because like it or not the session restore isn't perfect, particularly with some dynamic forms field with JavaScript that will usually lose what you typed if you close and restore them. If you really want to enforce that stupid behavior on purpose (while it is so easy for the user to configure it themselves - or not!), at least please uncheck and disable the warn me when closing multiple tabs option when startup is configured to restore the previous session, so the world will know this is a sabotage and not some obscure black magic with a 6 year old bug report that was never fixed because it's not a bug it's a feature from the same kind of genius who thinks the Windows 8.0 UI is great and the users who don't agree suck... -- 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 comment #181: In SeaMonkey 2.24a1 (built on Gecko/Toolkit 27.0a1), when filtering about:config on quit I see three possibly relevant booleans: browser.showQuitDialog, browser.showQuitWarning and browser.warnOnQuit, all of which I've set to true, for none of which it is the default.

(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.

(In reply to Peter Ford from comment #164) Unfortunately I've now had to upgrade(?) to 12.0 and this problem has returned and is *NOT* fixed by the quoted workaround. With multiple tabs open I now get no warning when I hit the big red X in the top corner of an XP Window. Are you finding that the behaviour of 12.0 is different from that of 11.0? I never ran 11.0 (reluctantly) I went straight from 3.6.28 to 12.0 and this bug continues. In 12.0, does the behaviour change if you try the same actions in a brand new user profile? http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Managing-profiles YES! With a brand new user profile, Firefox 12.0 behaves correctly and as wished by warning me before trying to close multiple tabs! However, one of the reasons I run Firefox is the useful extensions (such as case changer and FireFTP) that are available for it.

(In reply to Dr George Collins from comment #167) With a brand new user profile, Firefox 12.0 behaves correctly and as wished by warning me before trying to close multiple tabs! So Firefox with a clean profile behaves correctly and no longer exhibits bug 419009 (as it is currently described). But I suspect it still exhibits bug 702478, which is the same as 419009 except it ONLY manifest when you do File Exit (which in Linux is File Quit or keyboard shortcut Ctrl-Q). Could you try opeing a few tabs and then doing File Exit. I suspect you will NOT get the warning. (My bug 702478, comment 1 gives more info.)

Not that I know of, but I am not an expert. It might be worth installing your extensions one-at-a-time to the clean profile, testing for this bug after each one. That would presumably narrow down the problem. I guess you might even find that you install *everything* and still can't reproduce this bug, which would suggest a problem with your old profile. -- 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

[Bug 230102]
I am using Ubuntu (Lucid Lynx): fully up-to-date. The web browser is Ubuntu's version of Firefox 12. I have been investigating this today, with a new Firefox user profile. For me, I DO get the warning if I invoke the 'Close Window' operation - even if there is only 1 window open. But I do NOT get the warning if I do File Quit or Ctrl-Q. Therefore, one solution to this bug is to rename the relevant setting from ... Warn me when closing multiple tabs ... to ... Warn me when carrying out the 'Close Window' operation (i.e. alt-f4 OR ctrl-shift-w OR alt-f + d OR clicking the X in the top right/left corner OR clicking File Close Window) or when carrying out the 'Close Other Tabs' operation - if doing so would result in the closure of multiple tabs. However, there probably isn't enough space on the screen for a sentence like that. And if this solution was implemented, I would immediately raise a feature request for an additional Warn me before Firefox quits setting. I much prefer for there to be a single setting, as there is now, and for this bug to be fixed 'properly'. Until then, there IS a workaround involving the Tab Mix Plus (TMP) extension. However, it is no longer just a case of following the instructions in Comment #142. TMP has an options window, with its own Warn me when closing multiple tabs setting, but it seems that TMP suffers from the same bug as Firefox: there is no warning when you do File Quit or Ctrl-Q. The workaround involves one of TMP's other options: Session Start/Exit When Browser Exits Ask Before Saving. This TMP setting DOES work even with File Quit or Ctrl-Q. You get a little pop-up with 3 options Save Session, Don't Save and Cancel. Click Cancel and you'll be back where you were before, the adrenaline from realizing you'd accidentally hit Ctrl-Q instead of Ctrl-W quickly subsiding! Now, you might think this workaround is risky. But it seems that TMP has another bug. If you accidentally click Don't Save, or press 'd' (the corresponding keyboard shortcut), it saves the session anyway! N.B. All the above refers to TMP version 0.4.0.1 If you don't like the TMP workaround, you can mitigate the effects of the bug by training yourself to be very careful near the Quit option in the File menu, and, (assuming you've got large hands) to use Ctrl-F4 instead of Ctrl-W to close tabs. One other thing to mention about Comment #142 (which is currently mentioned in this bug's summary). It refers people to Comment #99 which talks about these 2 preferences: browser.tabs.warnOnClose browser.tabs.warnOnQuit AFAICT, the 2nd one is wrong. It should just say browser.warnOnQuit. (The workaround in Comment #99 does not work (any longer?), but I thought this was worth mentioning anyway.) -- 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 Dr George Collins from comment #154) Well, here we are 4 years down the line and 7 major versions later (I updated to 11.0 today) and I also find it a bit strange that a bug that involves loss of data AND implies a blatant disregard to the user settings can still be open more than 4 years and several releases later. Well, I actually wonder whether it's really the same bug as it was 4 years ago. You yourself have said that version 3.6.28 is not affected. Most of the above comments are well out-of-date, written before Firefox started automatically remembering people's sessions, for example. And the workarounds don't work. Would we be more likely to get a fix if we closed this bug and opened a new one with only the latest information? At the very least, I propose changing this bug's summary from ... Warning if closing multiple tabs is not working (READ COMMENT #142) ... to ... 'Warn me when closing multiple tabs' doesn't work for Ctrl-Q or File Quit. What does everyone think about that? N.B. I do not seem to have permission to change the summary, so if there is consensus, please can someone who does have permission change it?

(In reply to comment #143) Ctrl-W could be limited to closing the currently focused tab only if a more than one tab was open. Workaround: set browser.tabs.closeWindowWithLastTab to false. If you close the last tab, a blank tab is created and the window / FF will not be closed. If all operating systems have a universal close it command, then SeaMonkey and Firefox wouldn't need Ctrl-Q CTRL+Q quits the _program_, ALT+F4 closes the current focused _window_ and it's OS dependent.
