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
