54331 - Mozilla should warn user on file|quit

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 51584

(Core :: XPCOM, defect, P3)

Description

[Jesse Ruderman]

Mozilla should warn the user on file|quit before closing everything, because 
it's too easy to get confused about the menu items or just accidentally hit the 
wrong one.

I think this applies to Windows and Linux but not to Mac.  See
http://developer.kde.org/documentation/standards/kde/style/basics/windows.html.

Mostfreq based on:
bug 17014 move "close" on file menu near "quit"
bug 39057 change "quit" to "quit all" or "close all" (9 dups)
bug 39639 quitting mailnews causes browser to quit as well

Nominating for rtm, because this is a common source of data loss and is 
extremely annoying.  Also adding dataloss keyword.

Btw, I wouldn't mind if bug 17014 was fixed as well.  Having "close" next 
to "open" may make sense for compose mail and editor, but not for Navigator and 
the main Mail window.
