i accidently checked the don't ask me again button when closing firefox, how do i uncheck it?
I accidentally checked the box that says don't ask me again when it prompted if i wanted to save and quit. However, i need it to ask me this so how do i un-check the box?

First check the following setting. In the Tools menu select Options. In the Options dialog go to the General panel and make sure the setting "When Firefox Starts" is not set to "Show my windows and tabs from last time", you can set it to either of the other 2 choices.
Now reset the 3 preferences that relate to warning when closing Firefox.
- Type about:config into the location bar and press enter
- Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
- Find the following 3 preferences, right-click on them and choose Reset (if reset is not available they will already be at their default value)
- browser.tabs.warnOnClose
- browser.warnOnQuit
- browser.warnOnRestart
On Mac you need to look in:
Firefox > Preferences > General > Startup: "When Firefox Starts"
