how do I avoid closing out all my tabs by accident? a box used to come up asking "are you sure you want to close all tabs". Now I click on the X and it automatically closes all my open tabs.
Sometimes I, by accident, click on the X and close out ALL of my tabs that were open. A box used to come up asking "ARE YOU SURE YOU WANT TO CLOSE ALL TABS?" Now, it just closes them all and I lose all my tabs that I had open. Is there a way to fix that?

You can set the warn prefs on the about:config page to true via the right-click context menu or toggle the value with a double left-click.

In Preferences > Tabs, there is an option that say "Warns me when closing multiple tabs". Make sure it is checked.

Thanks so much. It is resolved. I appreciate it!
I don't have Preferences, I have Options and in my Options under Tabs I have everything checked, including "Warn me when closing multiple tabs" yet I still have no warning on my final window with multiple tabs, where it previously asked if I wanted to save the tabs or whatever. I also lag, hang and generally have to fight after every update to get my add-ons to work properly but this isn't the place for those issues.
