This is a feature request rather than a bug. I open a lot of windows while
browsing. Now I use Mozilla  I open a lot of tabs. If I accidentlly close the
window, all of the tabs are gone without confirmation.

Feature Request 1: If a window has more than one open tab in it, on closing the
window give the user a "do you really want to close all tabs?" dialogue box.

Feature Request 2: For users who would not want to be bothered with this
message, provide an option in the browser preferences "warn when closing
multi-tabbed window".

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open several tabs while browsing.
2. Click on X to close the window.
3. Note that all open tabs were closed in one easy move.


Actual Results:  
Panic because you didn't note any of the URLs and will never find the stuff
again :-)

Expected Results:  
For each window that contains more than one open tab, ask the user for
confirmation, before allowing window to be closed. Have a setting in preferences
that can override this option, as some users will not want this feature.

None.
