Firefox isn't me WARNING when closing multiple tabs and it should be, and the ability to save tabs missing

Hi all

Not sure if it's something with Firefox 30, but this problem appears again.

In fact, first when I was close the browser with multiple tabs open, it warned me with the little popup, but it wasn't the "do you want Firefox to save your tabs for the next time it starts? It was just the warning of closure which said "you are about x tabs. Are you sure that you want to continue? »

So, who was recently #1 problem. I want the option to save and exit. But only in the last few days, it seems, is not even show this close attention now. With several tabs open, it closes just to the bottom of the browser. When opening Firefox again, tabs have been restored, at least it's a good thing, although weird.

I wonder how come back asking to "Save and exit" or "Quit" or "Cancel" as before.

In response to some requests for information as possible, here is some information that you may be asking, which I already checked:
-as appropriate on: configuration settings are all set to true already, such as browser.tabs.warnOnClose and browser.showQuitWarning
-in tools > Options, "warn me when closing multiple tabs" is checked, and "show my windows and tabs from last time" is selected for the start of Firefox. Nothing has changed!
-safe mode does not solve the problem; Firefox closes always just if I quit or press the red X.
-"Always use the private browsing mode" is unchecked.
-I didn't run a program like CCleaner between sessions

I have not changed anything, but this problem happening! I hope someone can help me to solve this problem and go back to the way it was, where accidentally close Firefox could be avoided and restore the previous session was possible.

Thank you!

Well well, with more tests and the help of my boyfriend, what I've learned, it's that tabs "Save and exit" dialogue prevails over the caveat to the closure of several tabs.

With browser.showQuitWarning set to true, it will ask me to save and exit - but not if "show my windows and tabs from last time" is selected to start Firefox, who dismisses the prompt to save and leave (and close several tabs warning). It will save just for you to quit smoking.
And had I disabled this browser.showQuitWarning manually or by selecting "do not ask next time" on the Sava and dialogue to quit smoking, then the warning for closing multiple tabs seems to try to close multiple tabs, since I warn the option in my settings of the tabs.

It is one or the other, save and exit or warning to the closure of several tabs.
It would be nice but if it was not a conflict between the fence several warning tabs and Firefox abandoning dialogue.

So, I hope this can help someone else who may be confused or accidentally to change options and potentially be screwed on. After all, I can an injury self-inflicted in the settings.

  • 21.0 Firefox is not warn when closing multiple tabs

    I have a Mac OS X, version 10.6.8. I use Firefox 21.0. I have the box checked to warn me when closing multiple tabs. This isn't. Why? Can I do to make it work correctly? Any information that I could find on the internet is for other versions of Firefox and of no use to me.

    No, no complaints. Just a pop-up window explaining site X asks permission to install cookies, despite me having all cookies already enabled. This was after you restart the computer. Oddly, the problem has not occurred today ' today - so the computer had a chance to 'rest' over the weekend, and I think that a power outage also shut down completely for a few days. I consider this case closed and the multiple tabs warning a sacrifice to use private browsing. Thanks for all your suggestions and links included. Very perceptive.

  • Firefox 16.0.1 warns about closing multiple tabs but not defined options to warn

    Firefox itself upgrade just 16.0.1 version. Now, when you try to close multiple tabs, I get the warning "confirm close" even if the option "Warn me when closing multiple tabs" is not checked.
    I tried checking this option, confirming the change, then uncheck this new option & confirming 2nd change, too. This made no difference. Firefox is obedient not the setting of the option.

  • Warn me when closing multiple tabs is not checked, but I still get the warning when closing multiple tabs

    After installing Firefox 16.0.1, I always get a warning whenever I close many tabs, even if there is no check box against the option "notify me of closing multiple tabs".

    Hello unfortunately at the moment it is not possible to turn off the warning that appears when you select "Close other tabs" due to a side effect by an another bug fix.
    in firefox, 18 there will be an added preference in about: config (browser.tabs.warnOnCloseOtherTabs) which allows to hide the caveat again, see bug #772319.

  • "Warn me when closing multiple tabs" does not work

    Under Tools > Options > tabs, "warn me when closing multiple tabs" is selected. Also, in all: config, browser.tabs.warnOnClose is set to 'true '. I still have several tabs open. However, sometimes my hand slips or the mouse falls off the table and Firefox closes without any warning.

    The original problem was not no Firefox closes when the X has been clicked. The Fast Close Tabs addon is a workaround, but it has pretty much solved the problem: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/fast-close-tabs/

    This addon alters the function of X to close a single tab and not the entire window. Mind you, it would be even if the core Firefox really made this options says it did, or at least if the options have been reformulated to take account of what they actually do. But the Fast Close Tabs addon is a pretty good alternative.

  • 17.0 Firefox don't warn me when closing multiple labels more

    Hi all

    After having updated for Firefox 17.0 (from 16.0.2), for some reason any I are notified when closing multiple labels more.

    I confirmed the relevant options are selected and am 100% certain this was working fine before the update of Firefox today.

    I've reproduced the problem on my XP 32 bit and vista 32-bit platform too.

    I also looked at the changelog for Firefox 17 but don't see any explanation for this change in behavior, although I wonder if this could have something to do with it "772319 no option to disable the prompt 'Close other tabs'.»

    As I use Tab Mix Plus (add-on), I also checked Firefox in safe mode and have found the warnings of native tab does not, then have concluded that there is a problem with Firefox (rather than something to do with an extension).

    I checked "subject: config" and "browser.tabs.warnOnClose" is true, as is the "browser.tabs.warnOnCloseOtherTabs".

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you

  • When I close FF4 I not give me the ability to save multiple tabs open on my next session

    When I upgraded to FF4, I was sad to see one of my favorite features was no longer there. With a mile long bar address and the home button which is almost off the screen. I also noticed that there is no history button next to the front buttons and back why does. I like FF4 but I have about these features I'd seen on.

    One of the changes in Firefox 4: by default Firefox 4 does not display the warning "Save tabs and exit" then to the closure of several tabs, but it can be turned on again by changing some preferences.

    • Record of the tabs was not removed from Firefox 4, but it works a little differently.
    • By default, Firefox 4 will not ask to save tabs, but instead it will always save your tabs on the output unless you're in private browsing mode. You can restore the next time by:
      1. by clicking on the Firefox button > history > "restore previous Session ', or
      2. type of Subject: House in the URL bar and press the Enter key, then press the button "restore previous Session."
    • Note: This was a decision by the developers. On this forum, we are all volunteers without compensation here to help other users. Develop them and employees of Mozilla/Firefox rarely, if ever visit here.

    To display the message "save tabs and exit" when closing multiple tabs, you can do the following:

    1. Type of topic: config in the URL/address bar and press the Enter key
    2. Accept the warning message (promise to be careful)
    3. Open the preferences/list page
    4. Filter = browser.tabs.warnOnClose
    5. If its value is set to false, double-click top (in the lower panel) to toggle its value to true
    6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the 3 following preferences also:
      • browser.warnOnQuit
      • browser.warnOnRestart
      • browser.showQuitWarning
    7. See:

    Things to check if the tabs are not saved:

    1. Browsing history must be saved

      • Button Firefox: Firefox button > Options > Options > privacy > [X] Remember my browsing history
      • Menu bar: Tools > Options > privacy > [X] Remember my browsing history
    2. Also, make sure that you do not erase "Browsing history" when you use clear recent history or when Firefox is closed
      • Using clear recent history

        • Button Firefox: Firefox button > history > clear recent history
        • Menu bar: Tools > clear recent history
      • When Firefox is closed
    3. Make sure that you are not in private browsing mode or in private browsing mode permanent:
    4. If you have the Tab Mix Plusextension, and then clear the built-in session restore.

    Do not use 'Clear history of Firefox closing' to clear the 'browsing history '.

    Using the "Show my windows and tabs from last time" is a more reliable way to restore the session data.
