Why DOESN'T Firefox VERSION 6.0.2 warn me when "You are about to close multiple tabs. Do you want to continue"? aka "Confirm Close".

Hello. I have a Windows 7 HP Mini Netbook 32-bit. I just installed Firefox version 6.0.2 (the most updated one). Under

Tools ---> Options ---> Tabs, "Warn me when closing multiple tabs" is checked. However, when I have multiple tabs open and I click on "X" (accidentally one time), it closed Firefox. No warning at all. I tested it again and again (checking the box, unchecking it, then checking it again), and it keeps closing all my tabs without warning.

FYI...I also have a work laptop (Windows XP) and for some reason the "Confirm close" shows up when I try to close multiple tabs.

Thank you.

Firefox does not ask to save tabs and windows on exit

Warning does not appear when closing multiple tabs

Check and tell if its working.
