User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4

When viewing Two or more tabs in Firefox (which does rox0r to the Nth) i have
noticed, that when trying to close a ff window which has 2 or more tabs in it
from the XP (trying to get a viable version of linux) toolbar, it brings up
"close multiple tabs" warning in both/all of the tabbed windows rather than just
one error message. 
     I realize this is probably of very little importance, and indeed doesnt
bother me much, especially considering the happy times I have with Thunderbird
and Firefox compared to Mcrosft prgs! Just thot i wud mention it, as i couldnt
find any prev ref's to it..

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.open two or more tabs in one window
2.try to close the FF window from XP toolbar
3.Witness the two/several close tabs warnings

Actual Results:  
It was simply a case of clicking cancel on each "close multi tab" warning, no
big deal

Expected Results:  
Opened one "close multi-tab" warning and accepted result of first imput.

When there are more windows open with multiple tabs in each window I think it is
the right behaviour to show also multiple warnings.
One could always disable the messages in about:config. In this case set
browser.tabs.warnOnClose to false.

This bug was reported on Firefox 2.x or older, which is no longer supported and will not be receiving any more updates. I strongly suggest that you update to Firefox 3.6.3 or later, update your plugins (flash, adobe, etc.), and retest in a new profile. If you still see the issue with the updated Firefox, please post here. Otherwise, please close as RESOLVED > WORKSFORME
