225509 - Confirmation dialog for closing all tabs - once disabled, cannot be re-enabled

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 108973

(SeaMonkey :: Tabbed Browser, defect)

Description

[Barry]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031007
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031007

in 1.5, when multiple tabs are open and you want to close the browser, you get a
confirmation dialog asking you if you want to close all tabs.  There is also a
checkbox if you don't want to be asked again.  If you check this option, there's
no way to re-enable the feature.  I would expect to find the option in
Preferences-> Navigator-> Tabbed Browsing

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open multiple browsers
2. Close the browser. When the confirmation dialog comes up (unless already
disabled), check off the box to "not ask again."


Actual Results:  
There's no way to re-enable the confirmation dialog.

Expected Results:  
I would expect to find an option in Preferences-> Navigator-> Tabbed Browsing to
re-enable the confirmation dialog

In the location bar, type about:Config and hit enter.

Scroll down to browser.tabs.warnOnClose.  Doublie click on it and replace false
with true.

Well, that is where it can manually be fixed, but you would still expect the
option in Preferences.  Thanks.
