Until recently, if I closed Firefox using the "Exit" menu option, it would not trigger the "closing multiple tabs" warning. How do I restore this behavior?
Up until a few weeks ago--I think when I updated to Firefox 23, though it may have been 22--if I enabled "Warn me when closing multiple tabs," the warning would display only if I closed out a window using the X in the upper right-hand corner, but not if I closed the browser down correctly from the menu. Now it's warning me when I use the menu, too. Is there a way to revert this behavior? I only need the warning if I accidentally hit the x for the entire window instead of for a single tab.

Try to set the browser.tabs.warnOnCloseOtherTabs pref to false on the about:config page.
You can check other 'warn' prefs as well.
Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately, this does not solve my problem.
What I am looking for is the ability to shut down the browser, using the File-->Exit menu option, WITHOUT triggering a warning, but still get the warning if I try to shut the window by clicking the X. This is how Firefox has always behaved for me until recently, but it's looking as though there is now no longer any way to accomplish this.
I really wish this had not been changed. It's highly inconvenient.
I haven't noticed a change to how File > Exit works on Windows 7. (I tried it a moment ago, and it just shut right down. Thank goodness for session restore.)
Do you have any add-ons that modify how Firefox saves sessions, or maybe other add-ons related to windows/tabs, which might be changing this behavior?
You can consider to use this startup setting:
- Tools > Options > General > Startup: "When Firefox Starts": "Show my windows and tabs from last time"
