The 'Confirm close' dialog ("You are about to close X open tabs.  Are you sure
you want to continue?") should list *the tab titles*.

I consider this to be a bit of bloat. What happens if the user has 40 tabs open, list them all? I don't see what can be won from this.

Duplicate of/related to Core bug 235998?

"Confirm close" popup already says how many tabs are being closed. Listing the titles of all the 150 or so tabs in my Firefox instance is certainly not what I want. I suggest this bug be resolved WONTFIX, leaving bug 235998 to add a "Details" button (which one may click only if desired).
