Warn on Quit not working when closing multiple tabs

I've already tried going into about:config and toggling all the "warnOn" entries to True.

My main problem is that i keep hitting CTRL+SHIFT+W by mistake to undo a closed tab, and i end up killing firefox.

Any help will be appreciated!

Aside: Since CTRL-W is the short cut to Close Tab, it's intuitive for me to expect CTRL+SHIFT+W to Re-Open Tab. Does anyone else feel this way?

Note that Ctrl+Shift+T is the keyboard shortcut to reopen a closed tab similar to open a new tab via Ctrl+T.

Firefox might not show a warning when the startup setting is to reopen tabs automatically (Show my windows and tabs from last time). Note that this is still the safest startup setting to prevent losing tabs in case Firefox crashes or otherwise doesn't close properly.

Yup. I'm well aware of that.

I think the problem is that Firefox ignores all the "*warnOn*" tags when it's configured to reopen tabs automatically.

IMO, this is taking control away from the user unnecessarily.

For security reasons, I've configured my firefox to delete all cookies on exit, and i use a master password, so restarting means i have to sign in all over again and this frequently means 2FA - all of which can be a PITA when you keep killing the browser by mistake.
