"Warn on close" for multiple tabs no longer works in 63.0.3, Firefox just quits without asking

I'm running 63.0.3 on OS X and just noticed that if I quit (either with command-Q or Firefox->Quit) it will just quit out automatically and not prompt a warning. I've double checked all "warn on close" settings through about:settings, tried toggling them, got the "Warn on close" setting to show up in the security preferences panel and toggled it there - nada. Multiple windows, same thing. Am I alone in this?

I also noticed recently that on Firefox across devices that my "restore previous session" setting was toggled off on upgrade, but at least that is fixed by reenabling it.

Soon after I posted this I found this Reddit thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/9rt1kn/how_to_get_a_warning_when_closing_firefox_and/

And this bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=550559

So I think it's being looked into. I found the "disable cmd-q" plug-in linked to in the reddit thread very helpful as a workaround.
