Firefox 16.0.1 warns on closing multiple tabs but options set not to warn

Firefox just updated itself to version 16.0.1. Now, when attempting to close multiple tabs, I get the "Confirm close" warning even though the "Warn me when closing multiple tabs" option is unchecked. I tried checking that option, confirming the change, then unchecking that option again & confirming the 2nd change, too. This has made no difference. Firefox is not obeying the option setting.

The problem didn't occur before the update to 16.0.1 but did occur in the first session afterwards & has persisted since.

Here just do this and you will be perfectly fine... even if option is selected the about:config is always set to "true" by default (on new firefox version)

For all who is interested, there is a bug report on this issue at the Firefox developer's bug tracker:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=801072

But it got no attention so far.
