You can set the warn prefs on the about:config page to true via the right-click context menu or toggle with a double left-click.
- browser.showQuitWarning
- 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
In the browser address bar type in "about:config" and hit the enter key. The address bar is the place at the top of the browser that the "www.abcd.xyz" normally appears. Note that the quotation marks are NOT typed!
On the page that appears be sure to do only the following otherwise you can REALLY make a mess of things.
Scroll down and find
browser.showQuitWarning
browser.tabs.warnOnClose
browser.warnOnQuit
browser.warnOnRestart
SINGLE!!!!!! left click on the line and scan across to see if it is set to true or false. The single click highlights the line and makes sure you are looking at the correct setting. If "true" you are good, leave it alone and find the next one.
Right click on the line which has a setting of "false", a popup window appears with several options, left click on the 1st one only, it is "Toggle". The setting should change to "true". Go on to the next until all 4 are set to "true". This is what the 1st reply says but he's expecting a large degree of understanding of how the software works or for you to read his last link 1st then the other links.
