3) What is expected to happen in Firefox, with Edit -> Preferences -> Tabs ->
"Warn on closing with multiple tabs open" checkbox checked, is when one click
the X, File -> Quit, Ctrl+Q , or Alt+Space -> C, one get's the confirmation box:
Confirm close
You are about to close x tabs. Are you sure you want to continue?
4) What happens instead is one is not warned and the window closes.
PARTIAL WORKAROUND: about:config -> browser.tabs.maxOpenBeforeWarn ->
change from 15 to 2. This will pop up the confirmation box clicking
the X and Alt+Space -> C only.
Original Reporter Comments: I found a "workaround" that says to set
"open to a blank page" somewhere else, and I set this, but it still
doesn't warn me.
I work from home and frequently spend an hour or so putting in data,
all on one screen. If I accidentally hit the stupid little x (which is
now in the left hand corner just where you don't need it, it is too
easy to hit it by accident, but i can't change this, it comes with the
distro), i lose all that work.
Please tell me how to fix this terrible bug.
