Hi. Does the fix not consider pinned tabs? I use multiple windows with many pinned tabs of websites I regularly use (mail, etc).

(In reply to Meridel from comment #46) > Prefs copy looks good and hasn't changed from what we have currently. > > Edits to close warning dialogue: > -Numbers less than ten should be spelled out. So if the user is closing 2 - > 9 tabs, spell out the number of tabs. This is really annoying to implement, and requires localizers to provide translations for all these numbers. It also makes it harder to scan for the numbers when reading the warning. It's also not clear to me that any convention in (American?) English that you're using here applies in other languages (eg I grew up in the Netherlands and the rule I got taught was to write out numbers under 20, as well as any numbers divisible by 10 (under 100) or 100 (under 1000), etc.). So it would be "five thousand tabs" but "5341 tabs". I would be unsurprised if other languages used other conventions still. It also doesn't seem related to this bug. If you feel strongly that this is necessary, can you file a separate bug for this, maybe with more details about how that should work? For the changes to the prefs: (In reply to Amy Lee [:amylee] UX from comment #44) > I've attached a spec for Preferences when Session Restore is Enabled and > Disabled. The warning will not show up by default if Session Restore is > enabled but I've added a pref that allows users to turn the warning message > on when Session Restore is enabled if desired. I have a several concerns here. First, now if users have session restore enabled there is 1 pref that governs both window closing and quitting. Unfortunately, there isn't a pref to turn on warnings for quit but not have warnings when closing multiple tabs otherwise. This would be desirable because it's easy to mis-hit cmd-q when trying to hit cmd-w (to close a tab). You have to try pretty hard to mis-hit cmd-shift-w (to close a window) or to close multiple tabs using the mouse. So I want a warning when quitting but not when closing a window, but I can't have that either today or with the implementation you're suggesting. That seems like something we should fix. Second, users who are used to the current behavior with session restore enabled (esp. on Windows, where mis-hitting ctrl-shift-q is also not a major concern) will start getting warning dialogs when we implement the new behavior. That seems disruptive. But we can't turn off the warning everywhere because then they won't get a warning when closing a window, which they might have relied upon. Any thoughts about how to address that? -- 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

Today, there are warnings when closing windows, or using "close tabs to the right", or using "close other tabs" - but not when quitting, if and only if session restore is enabled. Specifically, the preference you're suggesting we surface "under" Restore Previous Session already exists, and its default is true (ie warn when closing tabs). However, there are hardcoded checks for "does the user have session restore enabled?" in the code that avoid warning when quitting, irrespective of whether the "warn when closing tabs" checkbox is checked. In your new design, we'd remove the hardcoded checks to ask session restore in the code that actually implements warning, and cosmetically we'd move the checkbox in about:preferences, and add some logic to tick/untick (and set/unset the pref) when the user toggles restoring their session. But that doesn't solve the conundrum here - the pref would be turned on by default, and we'd remove the checks, so then the user will start getting warnings. We could have a one-time migration that turns off the "warn when closing tabs" pref for people who have session restore turned on, but that also seems like it'd potentially confuse users who would no longer see warnings when closing windows / multiple tabs (e.g. via "close tabs to the right") where they did see those before. What would you prefer we do? Disable the warnings everywhere for session restore users, or accept that we'll now start warning session restore users who might not have expected this?

While I sympathise with the sentiment here, we already made a change in bug 1438499 (to show the same "closing multiple tabs" warning when quitting when session store is not enabled, removing a separate option to show an alternative dialog that people had to opt in to via about:config), and already people on Nightly are basically saying that that removed a "fail-safe": (In reply to Kestrel from bug 1438499 comment #47) > browser.showQuitWarning was a good fail-safe to avoid data loss but now that > it has been removed a suitable replacement is needed, hopefully Bug 550559 > can be expedited to avoid a regression. ... because the "closing multiple tabs" warning on quit is enabled/disabled together with the same warning when closing windows/other/right-hand tabs, there's no way to force the quit warning to come up but not warn for closing windows / multiple tabs, and that's burning people (it seems). (In reply to Amy Lee [:amylee] UX from comment #49) > It starts to become overkill if we try to provide > such specific checkbox options (ie. warn me when quitting, warn me when > closing a window, etc.). FWIW, I think the only requirement here is quitting vs. everything else, and I think an about:config pref would be fine. I don't think this is going to be a slippery slope. Quitting is by its nature *much* more destructive than closing a single window, and as noted, easier to do by accident (esp. on macOS/Linux) than all the other ways of closing multiple tabs. If you're convinced that we don't need to provide an option here, that works, but I think we need to tread carefully and deliberately here. -- 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

Any thoughts about how to address that? The default settings of Session Restore would be what we have currently (not having warnings). The user can turn on the warning when closing multiple tabs in Prefs. If they accidentally close a window, it's less of a destructive action because Session Restore is enabled so if that does accidentally happen, their tabs are restored anyways when they reopen. Again, I believe this affects a small population of users.

After going through the thread and related bugs, it seems to make sense to have a confirmation dialogue when quitting the browser. Also it looks like a confirmation dialogue does appear in Windows/Linux when "closing" multiple tabs and not when "quitting" which is confusing. There is no confirmation at all in Mac. I've attached a screenshot of the confirmation for when closing multiple tabs on Linux/Windows. This should also exist for Mac when quitting/closing. Rational for having a confirmation even if we have session restore: 1. Session Restore doesn't restore dev tools. Accidentally quitting and losing progress. 2.

So the assumption that the warning can be turned off > if we do session restores is inherently flawed. Yes, that's true. And Private Browsing mode is made still more vulnerable by a bug where the 'close multiple tabs' warning doesn't work - just filed as Bug 1096350, but an old issue. Another bug (Bug 1096437) means no 'close multiple tabs' warning if you have a single non-private window. Just for good measure, the old quit dialog long available via browser.showQuitWarning has finally been killed off. Session Restore was a nice idea horribly implemented. The answer was always a simple one: add support for multiple sessions, as suggested by me 3½ years ago (Bug 648081). Not actually a huge undertaking. A session is just a set of files, and if you can save and restore one you can accommodate 2 - or 20, come to that. -- 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

Despite having browser.showQuitWarning and browser.warnOnQuit set to true (as well as browser.tabs.warnOnClose), pressing Ctrl+Q (or using File → Exit) closes the program with no confirmation.

Comment on attachment 594363 Don't disable warn-on-quit when session restore is enabled Review of attachment 594363: - Sorry for the delay. I've had this on my mind for a while though. My main problem here is that this doesn't really do what the end goal of this bug is. This simply removes a check from the dialog path, but it doesn't handle the keyboard case at all, which is what we really want. So I think we should move discussion about this specifically to a new bug. Since this is (mostly) only going to affect people who manually gone & changed showQuitWarning to true & have sessionstore on, it shouldn't be too disruptive. Though, we'll show the quit dialog which asks about saving tabs when session restore is already on... so that's not ok. Also, all the people quitting by closing the last window will suddenly have a dialog in their face, event without showQuitWarning (I think I take back "shouldn't be too disruptive").

Created attachment 621206 WIP for keyboard quit This just adds a notification for when we quit via the keyboard. This could be used to popup a new window & presumably spin the event loop or something. We can't quite do what (for example) Chrome is doing and capture everything down in Cocoa-land because we construct the menu from XUL and then pass everything straight back there without really processing the event in Cocoa. The Cocoa part of this is for when quit is sent via some other way, for example cmd+q while in cmd-tab, activity monitor. This isn't a well formed idea yet but I had _something_ to put up.

Let me add my two cents (scroll down for TLDR) (I'm a Windows user BTW). I'm very close to @Ian Stirling opinion from #comment 8. I want to have an option to *absolutely* ask on quit, whatever makes me do so (shortcut, click, menu item); isn't there any 'onbeforequit'-like hook in the codebase, whatever was the root cause that triggered it? Let me explain the point. For me, Firefox is The Centre Of Management of The Universe. I regularly have 100+ tabs open, with their content being changed by me using some Greasemonkey scripts that add additional content when I click this and that (and this is gone after restart). I can't allow browser just to quit accidentally because of some misfortunate events happening. And there are zillions of things that can accidentally go wrong. I'm a power user, yet it still happens from time to time and you can't help: - I can hit ALT-F4 while I was sure the focus was in the different app. Or hit ALT-F4 more than once, one of this happening in Firefox, because the OS switched the focus after closing previous app to FF which I didn't expect. - I can have a different application (say Notepad) on top of Firefox on the desktop stack. And now two cases: -- when both are maximized, I can hit 'X' twice by chance, because for instance my mouse is malfunctioning, or my touchpad too sensitive etc etc. -- when at least one of them (say Notepad on top) is not maximized, I want to try to close the Notepad, but I move my mouse (or especially touchpad) 2 pixels too far on the right, and, voila, Firefox goes to hell. -- I open a 'File' menu menu via LEFT_ALT, DOWN_ARROW, I see the options, I iterate them via DOWN_ARROW, UP_ARROW, and I push enter on exit, but I wanted one item higher in the menu (theoretical, but can happen). -- Also, I may confuse shortcuts, because I'm overworked and simply tired! All of the above are very unlikely, but still happen from time to time, and each of those is a *DISASTER*, when you have 100+ tabs opened, and (God prevent) you're out of mobile range / your mobile network provider sucks / your phone-as-a-modem sucks etc. while Firefox still thinks you're online. It's especially painful when you buffered than damn 15-minutes YouTube video to watch it offline, then you accidentally close Fx, and you're screwed. Also, I might be downloading a huge file from a server that doesn't support restarts-in-the-middle. Default Firefox behavior (with All-in- one-sidebar) is to close the actual window, and leave only the downloads opened! This is ridiculous. I can now either wait 1h till the download ends, or restart the Firefox, and screw the download. (it doesn't affect me, as I use AiOS add-on; just pointing it). When I tell the browser I want a warning, I REALLY want it, and don't be overly clever to not show it to me when you think it's not necessary. Period. Hope I'm convincing enough. Please, always display me a warning when I want to quit Firefox and I stated it in about:config. Actually I only quit Fx to install upgrades /add-ons, or when the memory consumption is too big. I hibernate my comps, and have Fx opened for whole days. __ TL;DR: - I may have 100+ tabs - I may have slow connection (laptop, with mobile phone as a modem) - I may sometimes go offline - I may use dynamic content (Greasemonkey, Flash videos loaded) that will be lost after restart - I might be tired and do something stupid by mistake! I'm a human after all Then, session restore is only helpful in the way that you don't lose URLs you were browsing. -- 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

This is especially noticable on a Mac since ⌘Q and ⌘W are right next to
each other, but in general it violates the principle of least surprise:
We currently ask when you quit your browser whether that's what you
wanted to do, and give you an option to "never ask again".
However, when turning on Session Restore, this "never ask again"
behavior is automatically enabled, which is confusing. I appreciate the
logic ("you're not losing anything by quitting since session restore is
awesome"), but it still causes a long startup time if you do it
accidentally.
We could do this only when you quit using a keyboard shortcut too, but
that gets back into the "being too clever" side of things again, since
you would have two slightly different "never ask me again" settings.
Since it's so easy to check the "never ask me again" on the quit dialog,
we shouldn't assume that Session Restore implies that you don't want to
be asked. So let's please disable this behavior.
PS: When one of our developers doesn't even know about this behavior and
creates an extension to fix it, it doesn't speak very well to its obviousness.
;) https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/55824/
PPS: Yes, other applications & browsers have this same issue, but that doesn't
mean we shouldn't make it better.

Refining title, Ctrl-Q is present on Mac, Cmd-Q on OS X. As far as I know, Ctrl-Q doesn't work on Windows, so it's not a problem there.

" Quitting the application by using the menu or using the window close button (Windows & Linux only) will not trigger any warning." Absolute. garbage. This has made FF4 unusable for me. Good luck keeping up with the competition by de-feature-izing this browser into yet another Chrome clone. At this point, I'd rather start putting up with Chrome, since it seems to be adding things, not taking them away. not warning when there is more than one tab open is insane, and due to the ridiculous amount of time it takes to restart FF, its even more annoying.

Echoing comment 3. (I'm on linux) On comment 4 - '* Quitting the application by using the menu or using the window close button (Windows & Linux only) will not trigger any warning. (Restoring your previous session should be even more discoverable once the new about:home design lands, which seems to be on track to make Firefox 4.0.)' First, a general point. What is the rationale between the close button not closing FF window with 40 tabs, only if there is another window which may only have one tab? Addressing this feature specifically. The above comment to me seems to miss several usability issues for those with disadvantaged net connections. If the web were static, CPU and bandwidth were free, there isn't really any issue. Unfortunately, when you get away from this ideal case, as is common in many parts of the world, restoring a large number of tabs gets painful. To go into the usability issues I've hit. A) A fair amount of content may not be cached - especially if the browser session has been up for some time. This can take a long time, cost money, or lose data that you were looking at in dynamic pages that have now changed. Yesterday, I was out, and accidentally closed FF, and had to buy wifi access, rather than just use the data in my open tabs. B) Network unreliability. If the network isn't available all the time, then many of the tabs come back broken. C) Stateful pages. I'm a member of a subscription news site that limits my downloads to 20 per day, and sets the no-cache header. This means that when FF restarts, my tabs that I've opened as reference over the last 3-4 days all load at once, and take me over my 20 per day limit, meaning I need to wait a day. D) CPU - I don't have a very fast CPU, even neglecting the above issues, it would take a while to load. A-C could in principle be addressed by by making it possible to set the cache up in such a way that prerequisites of pages are always cached, and on restoring state, the state is restored solely from cache, not touching the network at all. -- 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

To reduce confusion (people on IRC said it was still a bit unclear), here's what we're proposing: * On Mac & Linux, since they have the Cmd-Q shortcut to quit the browser, we want to warn users that they're about to close all their tabs (or quit) when they do it using the keyboard shortcut *only*. * In that dialog, *do* offer the option to not ask again, for the people who just want this to quit automatically. * Quitting the application by using the menu or using the window close button (Windows & Linux only) will not trigger any warning.

With the removal of the Quit warning dialog on OS X this bug is kinda annoying because shortcuts to close tabs and the browser itself are directly beneath each other.

(In reply to Kestrel from comment #65) > The fix for Bug 550559 did not end up resolving this issue, > browser.warnOnQuit = true still does not work with browser.tabs.warnOnClose > = false. 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.

It looks like you'd need to also update the label in the preferences ( https://searchfox.org/mozilla- central/rev/c3fef66a5b211ea8038c1c132706d02db408093a/browser/components/preferences /in-content/main.xul#88-89 - change the identifier for l10n there, and change the identifier and string in https://searchfox.org/mozilla- central/rev/c3fef66a5b211ea8038c1c132706d02db408093a/browser/locales/en- US/browser/preferences/preferences.ftl#179-181 ), and there may be some automated tests that need adjusting. I'm also not sure what branch you wrote this patch against - but it wouldn't apply against nightly, because the code has changed and also checks the warnOnClose pref now (which it should probably keep doing, at least for now). Finally, for your next patch, please could you post something generated by `hg export` or `git show` instead of just the diff, so that the commit properly credits you and includes a summary of the change (ie commit message).

Created attachment 9004028 -fixquit.patch make warn=true warn again found the bug there was a second OR-condition that cancelled out the warning message if session restore is turned on, instead instantly closing the browser removing this condition fixes the issue maybe we finally can put this 10-20 year old issue behind us now c: -- 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
