Firefox does not warm when closing or quitting multiple tabs

Even though I have it set to warn me when closing or quitting, Firefox will quit and close multiple tabs. It defeats the purpose of having that setting turned on in the first place. Please help.

It looks like a setting I thought I had turned on was not: browser.showQuitWarning: true

Edit: I didn't see your second post before composing the below. Sounds like you found where to change the default behavior.


On Windows, if you choose "Exit" then Firefox will close everything without warning. The warning fires if you close a single window using Close.

It sounds as though the Mac is similar, where you do not get a warning for "Quit" but you do get a warning for Close?

Are you using menu choices or the red X button on the title bar?
