Steps to reproduce:

1. Open your browser (mine is set with multiple pages as a homepage)
2. Close the browser
3. A dialog pops up asking you if you are sure if you want to close all these
open tabs.
4. If you hit "Cancel", the browser closes.

Expected result:
The browser should not close, since I Canceled that dialog.

Tested in 1.5

Adding the keyword dataloss, since closing the browser at that time could mean
I'm editing a form field or whatever.
This has been reported before: bug 218009

Do you have any 3rd party components installed?
The only third-party extensions are the calendar and the stumble-upon bar. I'll
try it again with a fresh install without additional extensions.
*** Bug 224630 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Tried it with the latest nightly 2003-11-03-05 with a profile which I almost
never use. => Couldn't reproduce.

Tried it with the same build, but by loading my usual profile (backed it up just
in case it would break) => REPRODUCED

Since no add-ons are installed in my testing version, I first thought that we
are looking on the wrong side. But it appears that 2 of my extensions are
installed in my profile, these are:
- download status bar
- stumble upon

I'm going to try several new profiles and install separately these 2 add-ons and
check wether I can reproduce.
Ok, so stumbleupon bar is not at fault. I couldn't install download status bar
since its website is currently down. I installed instead  linkvisitor extension
into my profile and I couldn't reproduce either.

So I guess there must be something else left over in my profile which causes
this. However, it's such a pain to move all important data to a fresh profile
that I cannot do that right now.
(coming from duplicate 224630) small addition: I tried it today with the
keyboard; I used return on cancel when the warning pops up insted of doing a
mouse click liek before and it all closed. So it doesn't seem to be a mouse only
problem, even though I had a few strange "misdirected clicks" while browsing
around (.
(my specs: W98se, Moz 1.5rc, AdBlock, Prefbar, Flash for Netsc., no skin
(textbuttons)) Maybe I'll try the 1.6alpha or some nightly in the next days.
I have the same problem with Mozilla 1.5
(Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031007)
Both on XP and Win2K system.
Additional apps installed are Download Statys bar (0.8) and Prefbar.
I did do a clean install of Mozilla 1.5 on anohter w2k system. No problems. Then
I installed Download Status bar (0.8a) and the problem is there again.
So it looks like there is a problem with Download status bar instead of Mozilla.
Confirmation!
Yeah! I kicked off download status bar today (the stat. bar version was from Jan
2003) (I just deleted 2 or 3 files of it) and the bug didn't appear yet again...
Even in this moment, browsing for a good time, having lots of tabs open, nothing
goes wrong. So killing the download status bar makes it work for me. Just pity
that I can't use the bar at the moment (was a fine thing, though). 
The strange thing about Download Status Bar is that if you downgrade to 0.73,
this problem doesn't appear, although it doesn't remove downloads after the
specified interval of time and you have to delete downloads.rdf to clear it. 
Looks like a problem with the latest versions of Download Statusbar.  But in
case it's not:

This also hits Firebird 0.7 with TBE installed as well when using Download
Statusbar 0.8.

OS should be set to all since it hits Windows 9x and 2K/XP as well.

Hardware: PC → All
I have been suffering from this problem for months.. Had a lot of dataloss. Next
time I won't install the downloadbar I think...

Are the developers for downloadbar informed of this? Would be good if a bugfix
was made..
Everything indicates a bug in the "Download Status Bar" extension.
Please report it here:  http://downloadstatusbar.mozdev.org/bugs.html
It has been reported already, see:

http://mozdev.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=5121

We should probably mark this as INVALID
-> Invalid

This is a Download Statusbar bug and it has been reported:

http://mozdev.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=5121

Feel free to reopen if this shows up without Download Statusbar installed.
