Are there any extensions that can give warnings / confirmations before closing tabs with specific URLs?

Two months I posted about [[this problem|https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/form-history-control/]] on Reddit where I close out of Reddit post drafts before hitting post and I can't recover them. I still have this problem and I accidentally closed out a tab last night. Fortunately on that post I got a [[suggestion|https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/wzzgkm/comment/im7ibld/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3]] to use the [[Form History Control extension|https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/form-history-control/]] which I tested and works well, but ideally I would like a way for Firefox to ask me before closing Reddit tabs (and other websites) with unsaved changes.

Remember Addons are not supported by firefox forum that is for the Addon developer to followup and respond to on the Addon site.

People are still welcome to bring up issue with a Extension here in case others are having the same issues or fixes have been posted and we can help them faster even. The Reviews part of the Extension page at addons.mozilla.org is not really for support purposes. A lot of these extensions are made by private individuals who may not have the time to do one on one support.
