How can I get a warning of closing multiple tabs in private browsing mode?
I've changed the settings using preferences and about:config and I only get warnings of closing multiple tabs in normal mode, not private browsing mode. Also I do not have private browsing mode turned on by default.

What pref settings on the about:config page are you talking about? Is that the browser.warnOnQuit pref (others already default to true)?
- browser.tabs.warnOnClose
- browser.showQuitWarning
- browser.warnOnQuit
There are a lot of cases that you do not get a warning when closing a window or closing the browser (File > Exit/Quit).
In PB mode then nothing is saved to disk and things may be different.
What is the startup setting?
- Tools > Options > General > Startup: "When Firefox Starts":
"Show my windows and tabs from last time"
"Show my home page"
"Show a blank page"
browser.tabs.warnOnClose = true browser.showQuitWarning = true browser.warnOnQuit = true
The startup setting is show my home page.
I get a confirmation when closing down windows with multiple tabs EXCEPT when I am using private browsing mode.
