If there are multiple tabs open and I hit the X to close the browser, firefox
will appropriately warn that mutliple tabs are open.  When I hit cancel, the
browser STILL closes.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Type ctrl-t a few times
2. Close firefox by clicking the X at top right corner of window.
3. Select cancel.

Actual Results:  
Browser closes (thus closing ALL tabs within the browser).

Expected Results:  
If I hit cancel, it should not close the browser.

If you have the "Download Statusbar" extension installed, this would be a dupe
of bug 222316, which was marked INVALID since it's a bug in that extension.

Hello, I have this same problem. But I can't reproduce it always.

It mostly happens when my computer is slow, and I try to close a Thunderbird
message window. Somehow I end up clicking the close button on Firefox
(Thunderbird looses focus, or Firefox gains focus, I dunno which), and when the
browser asks me if I want to close all tabs, I choose "Cancel", but closes the
browser anyway.

Reporter, more information is needed for this report to be useful. Does it still
not work for you? Is it the same with a new profile?

For some reason, this no longer occurs.  I made no major changes to my system
since reporting this bug, so not sure why it resolved on it's own.  I did run
ad-aware recently and found some spyware - don't know if this is the reason for
the spontaneous fix in this bug....

Yes. It also stopped for me. I uninstalled the FoxyTunes extension, and also
wait longer after clicking in a link in the Thunderbird mail view. And It seems
to have stopped.

Did you uninstall an extension?

I cant remember.  I dont think so.I did have a tab-manager extension that caused
all sorts of problems, but I cannot say whether this was after the problems
stopped with the current bug.
