After I downloaded Firefox 5 it no longer warns me when I'm closing multiple tabs. The box is checked in settings for tabs but it still wont do it. This feature worked fine in Firefox 4. Can this be a glitch?

I actually recall this "feature" being removed from Firefox. There might be an add-on on the Mozilla Add-ons website though.

If the feature's been removed, then there shouldn't be an option to enable it in the settings.

@NoriMori and auscompgeek We are not talking about saving tabs when closing; we're talking about the warning "You are about to close X tabs" that usually shows up when you press the browser's close button. Now when I press the button, everything closes; no warning. I'm fortunate that Firefox does have a "restore previous session" button when you reopen Firefox.

I don't know about auscompgeek, but I knew what ottoman101 was talking about. Why did you think we didn't?
