"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.

  • 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.

  • 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 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.

  • Firefox12 shows no warning when closing multiple tabs

    Although I check "warn me when closing multiple tabs", Firefox fails to notify me when I open them and close them anyway. I checked the Boolean parameters "topic: config ' and they are set to 'true '. How can this be repaired? This is a drawback of having no warning.

    browser.showQuitWarning

    browser.warnOnQuit

    browser.tabs.warnOnClose

    browser.tabs.warnOnQuit

    change all the above true about: config and check again, the last one (browser.tabs.warnOnQuit), you must create it with Ctrl-click > select new > Boolean > enter browser.tabs.warnOnQuit as the preference name > click OK
    > select true > click OK.

    Try Firefox Safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Firefox Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode that disables certain parameters, disables most Add-ons (extensions and themes).

    If Firefox is open, you can restart Firefox Safe mode in the Help menu:

    • In Firefox 29,0 and above, click on the menu button

      click Help

      then select restart with disabled modules.

    • In previous versions of Firefox, click on the Firefox button in the upper left of the Firefox window and click help (or click on help in the Menu bar, if you do not have a Firefox button) and click on restart with disabled modules.

    If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Mode safe mode as follows:

    • On Windows: Hold down the SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
    • On Mac: Hold the option key during the startup of Firefox.
    • On Linux: Exit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run firefox-safe-mode
      (you may need to specify the installation path of Firefox for example/usr/lib/firefox)

  • Creative cloud office 'Apps' tab does not work

    I bought the license to CC a couple of days, but since installing I couldn't install/manage applications. Office CC 'Applications' tab will not open correctly only saying "download error".

    I got the CC on this computer in the past by another employer, but I uninstalled it when the project took end. I never encountered this problem with the CC of this time. I also got CS5 on this computer all the time and in the past with CS5 and CC has not caused any problems.

    I have now uninstalled and reinstalled this new CC a couple of times but the 'Apps' tab does not always work.

    I then also uninstall the CS5 and to be sure, I removed manually all the Adobe stuff like this guide: Re: how to remove and cancel the creation could f...

    After that, I reinstalled the CC but always the 'Apps' tab does not work. May be there is always something left (on this computer) the subscription of Creative previous cloud (another license) that is causing the problem with this new CC subscription?

    I have a Mac Book Pro with Mac OS X 10.9.5

    If you have uninstalled but did not follow upwards with the help of the vacuum of CS then you have probably some remains that could interfere with other facilities.  If you uninstall, then use the cleaning tool, you may have better luck.

    In addition, it should have been without having to uninstall the original CC that you had with another employer.  You must only have signed out of it, and then you could connect you with another subscription thereafter.

  • new tab (+) does not work after the upgrade to v 23.0.1 forefox

    I had firfox version 22 I guess... Now, today morning I upgraded to v 23. It displays a message from one of the plug-in is not compatible with wud and therefore be disabled. now later I still once downloaded the plug in to check if its works or not but TI worked (as I had already guessed), or its display in modules or plug-ins.

    Now I don't get why the new tab does not work. Not at all. Its so very annoying. I googled the question and tried to reset firefox and the new tab in subject parameter: config. But nothing helped.

    I think that its because of this plug-in I've read somewhere that the parameters can be getting replaced by one of the defective Add-ons.

    Help, please.

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