I used to be able to close FF with multiple tabs and get common warning re multiple tabs. Now closing FF with Windows X just closes one tab each time I hit the Window red X.

It then shuts down on the final windows X. It does not give me warning about multiple tabs as is used to.

The options for multiple tabs is turned on. I have "New tab Homepage" add on installed for ages = no problem with it.

If I use FF menu exit, it closes all without warning.

Any ideas?

Ok I solved the problem if anyone is looking at this. Add on "Hide Caption Title bar Plus" was the offender Option - define option for close button. Was on recommended not default. Choose default, problem eliminated! Andy
