Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[David "liorean" Andersson]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.5b) Gecko/20030827
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.5b) Gecko/20030827

Using moz1.5b or fb0.6.1, when I by mistake press the X, the browser closes
first, then the prompt whether I want to close the window or not appears. This
is not the case with C-q.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:



Expected Results:  
Moz and fb should wait with closing the window until after the prompt, and only
close if the user agrees.

Hi David. Can you still reproduce this bug in recent Mozilla builds? I just
tried on the 2003-09-23 nightly on Win 2000 and Mozilla came up with the warning
before closing anything, as expected. If it's still happening, can you think of
any other factors that could be affecting this?

Also note that Firebird does not (and unfortunately, does not intend to) have
this feature, so there should have been no warning when closing multiple tabs
using that program. You can see bug 189888 for details.

I can repeat it with 1.5rc1, yes. I have Tabbrowser Preferences installed in
Firebird and  TabBrowser Extensions installed in both Firebird and Mozilla,
might that be involved somehow?

I noticed this in the known issues section of the Tabbrowser extension website:
"Confirming dialog appears after the window has already closed." It looks to me
like this is a problem with the extension and not Mozilla itself. I won't ask
you to uninstall it to test if you don't want to, since that can be a pain, but
I think that is almost certainly the source of your problem.

Yep, it's the Tabbrowser Extensions that are the culprit. I checked in a clean
install.

Thanks for all the followup work on this bug. I'm going to mark it INVALID,
meaning the problem is not Mozilla's fault but instead an external program's.

Know who's the author of the Tabbrowser Extensions and where to contact that person?

Sure. The official website of TBE is here:
http://white.sakura.ne.jp/~piro/xul/_tabextensions.html.en and there's a link to
his email address from that site.
