This does not happen. It does not even ask if I am sure to close all tabs if more than one tab is open. This was not a problem in FF3B2, only since FF3B2. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open multiple tabs 2. Click the Exit button Actual Results: Firefox closes without prompting anything. Expected Results: Prompt to save tabs or at least warn me, since multiple tabs are open, if I really want to close all tabs.
Reporter: This WFM using Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9b3) Gecko/2008020514 Firefox/3.0b3. If you accidentally checked the box that says "Do not ask next time" that might be it. Another possibility is to go to Tools | Options and check the Main tab - if you have Firefox set to "Show My Windows and Tabs from Last time" you will not get the prompt when you exit Firefox.
Jechezkel: can you please comment back with the value of the preference(s) mentioned in comment 1, so we can determine if this is indeed a bug? Thanks!
Hi Stephen, I have now restaged my machine with FF 2 since I had a few problems, one of them being FF3 freezing on me often. I assume it was the machine. Will however install FF3B3 again and give you feedback on this bug still today.
Hi Stephen and Marcia, It looks like this bug is not a bug and probably more what Marcia said: I probably accidentally checked the check box "Do not ask next time". Feel free to reject the bug. Thanks, Cheski
