Expected results:

Dialogue should've popped up - like this one: http://www.bioteck.net/images/blog/firefox-save-tabs-on-exit.jpg

(used to work, stopped working in one of the later Fx6 updates, Fx7 same problem)

Confirmed. Firefox 18.0.2
Have both browser.showQuitWarning and browser.warnOnQuit set to True, but whether I click the red X or use File Exit, there is no warning.

browser.showQuitWarning is still broken in Nightly 30.

Comment 3

[Chris Peterson [:cpeterson]]

Works for me, once I realized that the browser.showQuitWarning pref is only checked if session restore is not enabled (i.e. "When Nightly starts" setting is "Show my home page" or "Show a blank page", NOT "Show my windows and tabs from last time").
