I had around 10 tabs open and in Tools > Options > Advanced > Browsing I had
ticked 'Warn when closing multiple tabs'. On one of may tabs I had composed a
long blog post which I was about to submit. Suddenly by accident I pressed
Ctrl-Shift-W instead of Shift-W and to my shock and horror the entire window
closed without any sort of confirmation and as a result I lost all my work!
This is not an enhancement request. It is a serious problem that misleads the
user. Please give it due attention. Many thanks.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Turn on 'Warn when closing multiple tabs' option.
2. Open lots of tabs in a window.
3. Type a long passage in a web form for about an hour.
4. Press Ctrl-Shift-W accidentally instead of Shift-W.
5. Watch your work disappear into a black hole.
Actual Results:
Firefox quit without confirmation.
Expected Results:
It should provide confirmation.

The funny thing is I was actually writing about Mozilla Firefox 1.0 PR when this
happened.
