Firefox closes multiple tabs without prompting
I have Firefox 3.6.10 set to prompt me before closing multiple tabs when I click to close the browser. The last couple of days I've noticed that the prompt no longer comes, it just shuts down all open tabs. I've double checked, and the setting I have under Options-Tabs is correct, so I'm guessing something else is wrong here.

You can reset the warn prefs on the about:config page via the right-click context menu.
browser.tabs.warnOnClose , see http://kb.mozillazine.org/About%3Aconfig_entries browser.warnOnQuit , see http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.warnOnQuit browser.warnOnRestart , see http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.warnOnRestart
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.
Thanks. The first two were set already. I set the third, but it doesn't seem to help. Anything else I should check?
If the issue does not take place in Firefox's Safe mode, tick 'disable all add-ons', save changes, restart, re-enable them until you find the faulty one.
Thanks for telling me about Safe Mode. I wasn't aware of it. Unfortunately, the problem persists in this mode. I also manually disabled all add-ons before trying Safe Mode, and the problem was present then, as well. Guess I might have to do an uninstall / re-install and see if that works. :(
In Firefox 3 you do not get the 'Save & Quit' pop-up dialog if you choose Tools > Options > General > Startup: "When Firefox Starts": "Show my windows and tabs from last time".
If that option is selected then your pages will already be reopened the next time.
To get that pop-up dialog you have to select one of the other choices (Show my home page,Show a blank page).
Thanks! That gets me the pop-up I was missing. When I re-open it still doesn't open the tabs, though. It just goes to my home page. Is there another setting I'm missing, perhaps?
