How can I close Firefox with multiple tabs without a message
This one makes me crazy. I'm running Firefox 40.0.3 on Linux Mint 17 on a Dell Latitude I5 lap top. 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 "Quit". It doesn't save that preference.
So I did some research, went to about:config, and changed the following settings to false:
browser.tabs.closeWindowWithLastTab;false browser.tabs.warnOnClose;false browser.tabs.warnOnCloseOtherTabs;false browser.tabs.warnOnOpen;false
but that message still comes up. Is this a bug or a feature? How do I get that preference to remain?
Thanks in advance.

If browser.showQuitWarning is true then you will get this warning message. You need to toggle the pref to false with a double-click to disable this warning.

have you changed this : "browser.showQuitWarning" from false to true in about:config window ? do it and then when it ask when you trying to close your browser then check on "don't ask from next time " and press on "quit " button.
Chandan: thanks for your quick response. Unfortunately, about:config shows:
browser.showQuitWarning;true
already and checking on "do not ask next time" does nothing.
Is there another suggestion?
