1418563 - Close firefox force

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 613785

(Firefox :: Untriaged, defect)

Description

[u606217]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:57.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/57.0
Build ID: 20171112125346

Steps to reproduce:

In Windows, I would like to close Firefox with the X button on the top right of the application, no matter the sitation.  There are specific circumstances when this cannot be done, for example, when a webpage request authentication with a username and password, or if Confirm popup box is asking to resend information.  When used maliciously, these actions confuse users, and does not allow users to exit Firefox using the X button on the top right.  I suggest that when the X button is used, under all circumstances, Firefox should force exit.


Actual results:

Firefox doesn't exit.


Expected results:

FIrefox should exit.

Clarify:  "when a webpage request authentication with a username and password", I mean Firefox comes up with a popup box for the username and  password.

A Networking Auth. prompt is using modal dialogs and it's the nature of the modal dialog that the main window controls are not usable ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modal_window ).

I will dupe this report to bug because making those dialogs non modal is the only solution.
