Unable to convince Firefox close several tabs without asking confirmation

Using Linux Mint 13 Maya with Firefox 35.0.1. If I try to close firefox after having several tabs open, I get the message "do you want Firefox to save your tabs for the next time it starts? Check "do not ask next time" has no effect. Next time, he will do the same boring. Went to preferences, tabs and found the box checked to "warn me when closing multiple tabs". Not checked the box, it remains unchecked, but I always get the same annoying message whenever I try to close several tabs. I really don't understand why this might be a desirable feature. I hate a computer program trying to do my thinking for me! Yes hell I want to close all tabs, I clicked on the 'X', I don't? I despise also semi-automatic and almost all the other annoying features trying to do my thinking for me - especially those that I can't turn it OFF. I want my PC to do exactly what I said, LOL!

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem.

  • Put yourself in the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance
  • Do NOT click on the reset button on the startup window Mode safe

If you do not keep the changes after a reboot or have problems with preferences, see:

You can watch the resignations and warn the prefs on the topic: config page.

  • browser.showQuitWarning
  • browser.warnOnQuit
  • browser.tabs.warnOnClose
  • browser.tabs.warnOnCloseOtherTabs

  • Firefox closes several tabs without telling me

    FF 4.0.1 (updated)
    Windows 7 Home premium (eng)

    When you navigate using several tabs, FF doesn't warm me if I close accidentally all the window the upper right part of X. All tabs are closed at the same time.

    Here are the things I've already tried (with help):

    Subject: config
    Boolean true default browser.warnOnQuit

    Boolean true default browser.tabs.warnOnClose

    browser.tabs.warnOnQuit user value Boolean true (it was missing, I added it)

    Then I tried (with help):
    browser.showQuitWarning-> true
    browser.warnOnRestart-> true

    Will not work.

    But then I realized something strange. If I have that a single open browser window, all the tabs are close at the same time by clickin X (top corner). But when I have at least two separate open browser windows, then FF gives me the warning following so Im trying to close the window with several tabs: "confirm close...» You are about to close the tabs [number of tabs open]. Are you sure you want to continue? [x] keep warm me when I try to close multiple tabs... [close tabs] [Cancel] »

    And it only works when I have at least two separate browser, open windows. How can I make it work when Im using only a single window with multiple tabs? It drives me crazy because I always accidentally click the X instead of close the tab only and I've lost all the other tabs.

    Ed. Even with a FF 12.0a1 (64-bit) and 9 FF now. Reset settings will no longer work! Could you please do something to make it work!

    I had the same problem. To resolve this problem, you need to reset the settings of Firefox. To do this, click the Firefox button, go to help and select restart without add-on. A window will appear. Check the reset settings Firefox area, then continue. The warning dialog box should now work.

    PS It seems to be a problem with your profile, not Firefox itself. I tried another profile in Firefox (a profile with all of the default settings) and not having a problem.

  • How can I close Firefox with several tabs without message

    It drives me crazy. I'm using Firefox on Linux Mint 17 40.0.3 to the top of a tower Dell Latitude I5. If I have more than one tab open and try to close it, I get a message:

    Do you want Firefox to save your tabs for the next time, it opens?

    I click on "Do not ask next time" and "exit". He does not save this preference.

    So I did some research, went up to about: config and change the following parameters to false:

    browser.tabs.closeWindowWithLastTab; false
    browser.tabs.warnOnClose; false
    browser.tabs.warnOnCloseOtherTabs; false
    browser.tabs.warnOnOpen; false

    but this message still comes up. Is this a bug or a feature? How can I get this preference to stay?

    Thanks in advance.

    If browser.showQuitWarning is set to true, you will get this warning message.
    You must toggle the pref to false with a double click to disable this warning.

  • Firefox launches several times without asking

    I tried to restore my system windows 7. .no help. I tried to remove Firefox, got MSG that he was "still ongoing" and although he was not running... can not remove it...

    From my own experience: the message "always running" is correct, because there is still a Firefox (or two or more) running in the background. To remove

    • Start the Task Manager
    • sort the list in the process tab and
    • remove entries from Firefox

    Of course, you can get rid of them by simply booting the PC.

  • Since the installation of 4.0.1 I can't do a right-click on the icon in my taskbar and have Firefox give me the option "close and save" tabs. Only let's me know, I'm about to close several tabs. How to make 'save &amp; close' return?

    Before installing 4.0.1 I could right click on the Firefox icon in the task bar of my computer and press on the window. He would then give me the option to "save the tabs and exit" or "close all tabs".
    Now he comes and tells me I'm going to close several tabs.

    It was convenient to be able to close Firefox and open it with all the tabs in place. There is nothing more annoying than to have several tabs lost because your computer has is an update of the day overnight and restarted. It is also useful when you want to run a tun - up or cleaner who asked that closing your browser for best results.

    How to make 'save and exit' return?

    Thank you

    Firefox stores now always the old session, and you can access it by going to the history menu and selecting "restore previous Session."

    If you want Firefox to display the message to save the session, it can be turned on again by changing some preferences.

    1. Type of topic: config in the address bar and press on enter
    2. Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
    3. Find browser.tabs.warnOnClosepreference, if its value is set to false, double-click on it to change its value to true
    4. Repeat this for 3 preferences browser.warnOnQuit, the browser.warnOnRestart and the browser.showQuitWarning

    If you always open the last set of tabs, another approach is the following:

    1. Click on the orange button Firefox, then select options to open the options window
    2. Go to the general Panel
    3. Change the setting "When Firefox starts" to "show my windows and tabs from last time '.

  • Page ads TitanTV affects NOW my Firefox. I usually go there - several tabs - without any problems at all. Now - suspended. Flash crash, etc... What comes to change?

    (With WiFi and all - library computers, etc...) I had the habit of maintaining several tabs open. I've come to Firefox, since it managed this use much, much better than any version of Internet Explore. Running multiple tabs from the list television future, made sense and was very convenient... A. it seems now - after eliminating the other possibilities * page TitanTV is the cause of my Firefox suspended... (when it is open to all, it slows down even more pages of scrolling..?) So yes--"suspended", on which page, flash/shockwave - type accidents etc. etc. Obviously... I don't have to use the page... or run on this browser, but ALL Of A sudden what originally do this? What is the content of the ad on there somehow? I would like to know at this point... and I prefer it to other browsers. [* And comply with the posted helps out usual as well as uninstall/reinstall Firefox and antivirus (Avast), clear memory cache...] I wish if I could solve this new mystery here... Thank you! )

    (1) can you try to start Firefox in Mode safe to see if Firefox works correctly without error? You can start Firefox in Mode safe below:

    • Windows/Mac: choose Help > restart with disabled modules
    • Linux: run firefox-safe-mode in the Terminal/Konsole

    If Firefox opens fine with no problems, it is probably one of your extensions that is causing the problem. You can reactivate your modules one by one until you find the one that is causing the problem to be re-activated.

    Some problems with Flash video playback can be resolved by disabling hardware acceleration in Flash Player settings. (See this article for more information on using the Flash plugin in Firefox).

    To turn off hardware acceleration in Flash Player:

    1. Go to the Adobe Flash Player help page.
    2. Right-click on the Flash Player logo on this page.
    3. Click settings on the shortcut menu. The Adobe Flash Player settings screen opens.
    4. Click the icon in the lower left of the Adobe Flash Player settings window to open the display panel.

    5. Remove the enable hardware accelerationcheck box.
    6. Click close to close the Adobe Flash Player settings window.
    7. Restart Firefox.

    This Flash Player help - display settings page contains more information about the Flash Player hardware acceleration, if you are interested.

  • Firefox closes the tab bad while closing several pages.

    It is really hard to describe... OK, let's say I want to look for the logo of firefox via google images. I found a lot of interesting and open results in different tabs. Now, I found a picture that I really like and close tabs that I no longer need. I'm not to change tab active and just pressing cross to close inactive tabs desired. I'm worried for my time and do it automatically fast. After the closure of 2 strips, third tab closes not only itself but it makes my close active tab also.

    This produces no matter what pages I use, how many are open, memory usage, etc.. It happens no matter what. There are only 2 terms I need to answer:
    -Close tabs that are inactive
    -Make fast

    I would really appreciate some help with my problem because the tab is usually accidentally crash the tab with a lot of text changed. You can imagine how disappointing is it.

    Thank you.

    Thank you all guys!

    Simple support App Tabs 5 is faster than I thought and it seems that the problem is resolved for now. Bug fix should be included in the next update, but if you do not want to wait (like me), you can recover the solution from here.

  • I upgraded yesterday so why the "close" tab is no longer in the menu file? How can I close a tab without leaving Firefox?

    the option 'close tab' is not on the drop down file today. That was before I updated yesterday to the new version of firefox. So, how can I do to close a tab?

    Just right click on the tab you want to close, and select close tab option.
    Otherwise, press Ctrl + W (or) Ctrl + F4 to close the active tab.

  • I can't close a tab without using the shortcut command + w keboard.

    In addition, my little close, reduce and enlarge overlap buttons on the tab bar, I can't select a tab without clicking on its down, and for some reason, these problems do not occur in mode full screen.

    Hi ninjaondemand,

    I'll try from Firefox Firefox to solve the issues in Safe Mode. If you do not have the issue so that all your modules, extensions, and themes are disabled, you can try adding them in one by one until you find the culprit. You should look at the guide to troubleshooting Extensions and themes and article troubleshooting issues with plugins like Flash or Java to solve common Firefox problems as well.

    You can also try to create a new profile.

    Hope this helps!
