After using Tab Groups earlier today, now anytime I close FF with more than 1 tab open, FF does NOT ask me to confirm before closing. FF always has asked me to confirm in the past and no settings were changed prior to trying the Tab Groups. Then when I reopen FF all the tabs that I had open are still there. I've tried refreshing FF and clearing history but that didn't work. It's almost as though FF thinks the window and tabs I have open are a tab group and it won't let me get rid of that group. How do I stop the Tab Groups now that I got them? Or is there something else going on? None of this was happening until I played with the Tab Groups this morning. I was curious what it was --- that's going to get me killed one of these days lol.

Note that using "Show my windows and tabs from last time" as the startup setting will also prevent Firefox from showing an alert when you close the window.

You can fix that by going to menu>preferences>tabs and then check the box that says "Warn me when closing multiple tabs" .

I can post screenshots if these directions don't work for you.

Have a great day!!

Thanks. Somehow the "Show my windows and tabs" box had gotten checked. I know I didn't check that box and the "Warn me when closing multiple tabs" box has always been checked. Like I said, it was all working fine until I tried the tab groups so I'm wondering if maybe that checks the "Show my windows and tabs" box by default?

Anyway, it's fixed now. Thanks so much!
