Currently, if closing fennec with > 2 tabs open, session close notification appears with the option to warn on close in for the future or not.   However, if you select no, there's no client intuitive way to come back in the future and re-enable this.  

The workaround is to set browser.tabs.warnOnClose = true in about:config.  that's silly to give standard users a client way to disable it, but not enable it back.

Repro:
1) install fennec 1.1b1
2) open 2+ tabs
3) click X
4) Session close notification appears.  select " No"
5) restart fennec.  there's no way to reenable to "Yes" except through about:config

Expected:
- some kind of option to reeable session close through the client

Actual:
- none except through about:config

For comparison, desktop Firefox has a "Warn me when closing multiple tabs" option in the "Tabs" section of its preferences UI.
