While the add-ons work, this should be build-in to in the browser as
it's highly annoying!

Title:
  "Warn on closing with multiple tabs open" not honored

Status in Mozilla Firefox:
  Fix Released
Status in firefox package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: firefox

  1) lsb_release -rd
  Description:  Ubuntu 11.10
  Release:      11.10

  2) apt-cache policy firefox

  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.

  WORKAROUND: Disable Ctrl+Q quiting the browser by installing keyconfig add-on:
  http://mozilla.dorando.at/keyconfig.xpi

  Then Tools -> Add-Ons -> Extensions -> keyconfig Preferences ->
  highlight Quit -> Disable

  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.

  THIS BUG AFFECTS MY SECURITY (INCOME) but i guess would not be
