I have made adjustments on the "about:config" once before on how to enable back the feature, but just few minutes ago I have the checkbox for the "Do not ask next time" option ticked by accident, and then proceeded to click the "Save and Quit" button. Now everything just closes, and automatically save my active tab(s)! How do I get the warning message box to prompt up again so I can choose to either Save and Quit, Quit, or just Cancel?

If you use "Show my windows and tabs from last time" as the startup setting then you won't get this dialog.

You can check the startup setting:

  • Tools > Options > General > Startup: "When Firefox starts":
    "Show my windows and tabs from last time"
    "Show my home page"
    "Show a blank page"

I've searched the term "warn", enable all false states to true and it still doesn't work.
