544591 - "Save and quit" prompt for closing browser with one tab open

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[cypher0_]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2) Gecko/20100115 Firefox/3.6 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2) Gecko/20100115 Firefox/3.6 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)

When I have a single tab open and I choose to close the browser ("X" button or "Alt+F4"), I get the "Save and quit" prompt.  I have the "Warn me when closing multiple tabs" option selected; however, if I repeat the process of closing the browser with a single tab open and select the option "Do not ask next time" and hit "Quit", the only difference under Tools>Options>Tabs that has changed is "Warn me when closing multiple tabs."  I selected it again, and repeated the process for verification.  I know that on older builds, Firefox would just exit in the case of one tab being open, which I find more convenient and believe that it should not be determined by the "Warn me when closing multiple tabs" option.
Also of note is that closing the tab with "Ctrl+W", which will close Firefox, does not produce the "Save and Quit" prompt.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Have one tab open
2.  Have the option "Warn me when closing multiple tabs" set
3.  Close the browser with "Alt+F4" or "X button"
Actual Results:  
The "Save and Quit" prompt appears

Expected Results:  
Closed the browser since multiple tabs were not open

This works fine for me. Can you retest in safe-mode / with a new profile?

I experience a very similar problem on a regular basis and can always reproduce it.

Steps to reproduce:
1.  Open two windows - window 1 w/ only one open tab, window 2 with n open tabs.
2.  Have the option "Warn me when closing multiple tabs" set.
3.  Close the browser window 1 (1 open tab) with "Alt+F4" or "X button".
4.  The "Save and Quit | Quit | Cancel" dialog box appears.

Notes:
This only happens when I have 2+ windows open.

This bug has had the CLOSEME tag for several weeks and the date in the tag is
far gone. If the reporter can still see this issue, Please retest with Firefox
3.6.x or later and a new profile
(http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Managing+profiles). Then please remove the
closeme tag in the whiteboard, mark the bug against the proper version and
comment on the bug.
