Created attachment 9004028 0000-fixquit.patch make warn=true warn again found the bug there was a second OR-condition that cancelled out the warning message if session restore is turned on, instead instantly closing the browser removing this condition fixes the issue
maybe we finally can put this 10-20 year old issue behind us now c: -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/583797 Title: "Warn on closing with multiple tabs open" not honored Status in Mozilla Firefox: Invalid Status in firefox package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Binary package hint: firefox 1) lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 11.10 Release: 11.10 2) apt-cache policy firefox firefox: Installed: 11.0+build1-0ubuntu0.11.10.1 Candidate: 11.0+build1-0ubuntu0.11.10.1 Version table: *** 11.0+build1-0ubuntu0.11.10.1 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric-updates/main i386 Packages 500 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric-security/main i386 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 7.0.1+build1+nobinonly-0ubuntu2 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric/main i386 Packages 3) What is expected to happen in Firefox, with Edit -> Preferences -> Tabs -> "Warn on closing with multiple tabs open" checkbox checked, is when one click the X, File -> Quit, Ctrl+Q , or Alt+Space -> C, one get's the confirmation box: Confirm close You are about to close x tabs. Are you sure you want to continue? 4) What happens instead is one is not warned and the window closes. PARTIAL WORKAROUND: about:config -> browser.tabs.maxOpenBeforeWarn -> change from 15 to 2. This will pop up the confirmation box clicking the X and Alt+Space -> C only. WORKAROUND: Disable Ctrl+Q quiting the browser by installing keyconfig add-on: http://mozilla.dorando.at/keyconfig.xpi Then Tools -> Add-Ons -> Extensions -> keyconfig Preferences -> highlight Quit -> Disable Original Reporter Comments: I found a "workaround" that says to set "open to a blank page" somewhere else, and I set this, but it still doesn't warn me. I work from home and frequently spend an hour or so putting in data, all on one screen. If I accidentally hit the stupid little x (which is now in the left hand corner just where you don't need it, it is too easy to hit it by accident, but i can't change this, it comes with the distro), i lose all that work. Please tell me how to fix this terrible bug.
