If my privacy options are set to "Clear history at restart", even though I have all these options set to true, and even though I have an option stating "Start Firefox with the windows/tabs from last time", an addon/browser update, or a quit due to instability issues wipes out all my open windows and tabs with no hope of recovering them. This really makes no sense to me, and there should be a safer way to ensure that the expectations of the developers and the users don't clash in this way causing loss of data.

Still an issue with 16.0.2. Accidentally hit Ctrl+Q instead of Ctrl+W (and you will), browser just quits without any warning or prompt. Extremely annoying, extremely obvious design issue that should have been fixed over 2 years ago now. At least in recent versions it's possible to restore the session, thus making this more of an annoyance than a fatal bug that would make the browser unusable. -- 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
