"Warn me when closing multiple tabs" does not work on Mac Version 5.0.1
The "question" says it all. Even though this box is checked in FireFox Preferences, it doesn't work on my iMac. The browser closes immediately. There is no pop-up with a question.

You can set the warn prefs on the about:config page to true via the right-click context menu or toggle the value with a double left-click.
- browser.showQuitWarning, see http://blog.zpao.com/post/3174360617/about-that-quit-dialog
- browser.tabs.warnOnClose, see http://kb.mozillazine.org/About%3Aconfig_entries
- browser.warnOnQuit , see http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.warnOnQuit
- browser.warnOnRestart , see http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.warnOnRestart
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.
- Use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
- Preferences that have been modified show as bold(user set).
- Preferences can be reset to the default or changed via the right-click context menu.
Hello Cor-el:
Boy, that's what I call genuine help. A great big thank you for being so thorough. You'd make a fine chess player.
