First check the following setting. In the Tools menu select Options. In the Options dialog go to the General panel and make sure the setting "When Firefox Starts" is not set to "Show my windows and tabs from last time", you can set it to either of the other 2 choices.

Now reset the 3 preferences that relate to warning when closing Firefox.

  1. Type about:config into the location bar and press enter
  2. Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
  3. Find the following 3 preferences, right-click on them and choose Reset (if reset is not available they will already be at their default value)
    1. browser.tabs.warnOnClose
    2. browser.warnOnQuit
    3. browser.warnOnRestart

On Mac you need to look in: 

Firefox > Preferences > General > Startup: "When Firefox Starts"
