When I right-click on a tab in Firefox 27 and choose 'Close Tabs to the Right' I am prompted with the message: "You are about to close X tabs. Are you sure you want to continue?"

How can I prevent this message from appearing?

Make sure that these tabs are set to true on the about:config page:

  • browser.tabs.warnOnClose
  • browser.tabs.warnOnCloseOtherTabs

You can open the about:config page via the location bar
