142789 - Mozilla should prompt the user when closing a tabbed window

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 108973

(SeaMonkey :: Tabbed Browser, defect)

Description

[Prognathous]

It is very common to close a browser window without first reviewing the contents
of other tabs.
Mozilla should prompt the user with the following message (or similar):
"This Mozilla window has additional browser tabs open, are you sure you want to
close it? <Yes/Don't Close>"

I know that using CTRL-W instead of Alt-F4 would prevent this problem, but most
users don't use this keyboard shortcut and many others are not aware of it.

I have verified that this problem happens with the BeOS version of Mozilla, as
well as the Win32 version.
