Many times I open multiple tabs while using Firefox for browsing. At times , I tend to close Firefox by clicking the close button on the top and the browser gives me a message "You are trying to close multiple windows. Proceed or Cancel?". I do not understand the significance of this message. Can somebody help me and explain what problems will arise if I closed the browser with multiple tabs open? Many thanks i advance. - - prof_rajaram

Hi,
When you click on   'Proceed'   you agree to close all tabs;  if, however,   you click on   'Cancel'  you can than decide which tabs you want to close.
'Hope this makes it clear to you;   otherwise:   feel free to ask again   !
