When closing Firefox windows, I would like a warning before the last window closes. The about:config settings do nothing. There is a warning for multiple tabs... why not for the last window? I do not use tabs... just windows... I have a mouse button programmed for that. It is really irritating to have to restart Firefox all the time and then open the history window because no warning was issued!

This is ridiculous. I've had this problems for years now and I'm finally walking away from Firefox. I use my keyboards more than my mouse, and how many times does your finger slip and hit Command Q instead of W. How come FF can't reset something as trivial as this? So many people are having problems with this?
Feels like FF has become too big, too slow and just not cooperative anymore. What a shame, I've been using Netscape/Firefox for 13 years. This is silly.

  • Recently got a MacBook Pro.  When I use it for work purposes, I plug in a large screen and key board.  When in this mode I would like to shut off the laptop screen or even close the lid. Is that possible?

  • When closing Firefox, I get an application error message saying the instruction at "0x100f2eaa" referenced memory at "0x00000024", the memory could not be "read". Check on ok to terminate the program. What's up?

    Don't know that this is causing problems during utilization of Firefox but it's been happening for awhile. Seems to only pop up when I exit the internet.

  • Is it possible to do something about the heat generation of the phone when using 3G? I would like to know if the new iOS is going to deal with that issue.

    It is a disapointing regarding the heating issue when using the 3G

    Instead of steaming you can just download directly from the cloud.  Don't you see the cloud icon with a downward arrow? You may have already downloaded then then. Turn off iTM and see if the songs are still present.

  • The proxy settings supplied by my work's IT dept. don't work with Firefox on my Nexus. I have entered them in the about:config settings list but to no avail.

    I have tried to change the config settings in line with a lsited posting, and these are:
    network.proxy.type =1
    network.proxy.http = setting from IT dept.
    network.proxy.http_port = 8080
    Is there anything else I should do?

    Are you experiencing this issue with another browser?

  • HOW MAY I SAVE MULTIPLE-OPENED BROWSING TABS WHEN CLOSING FIREFOX, PLEASE?

    When closing Firefox I would like to be able to leave some tabs open so my next session just carries on, as though I had left a real $5.00 note bookmark in an ole-fashioned book.

    Firefox 4 automatically saves your tabs and windows when you exit to restore them just click the Firefox button>History menu>Restore Previous Session and it will open your previous tabs and windows in addition to your current tabs and windows.

  • When closing Firefox, after reopening it, my tabs are gone, even though I have Firefox set to remember session.

    When closing Firefox, after reopening it, my tabs are gone, even though I have Firefox set to remember session. However, after several hours and opening and closings of Firefox, it will open tabs from the old session, for no apparent reason.

    You can check for problems with the sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak files in the Firefox profile folder that store session data.
    Delete the sessionstore.js file and possible sessionstore-##.js files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox profile folder.

    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox

    Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost and you will have to recreate them (make a note or bookmark them if possible).

  • If I preorder an iPhone 5 will it arrive at my house on the 21st or is that when it'll ship? I would like to have it the day it comes out so if it would be faster to order it online and then pick it up from the apple store, let me know! Thanks

    If I preorder an iPhone 5 will it arrive at my house on the 21st or is that when it'll ship? I would like to have it the day it comes out so if it would be faster to order it online and then pick it up from the apple store, let me know! Thanks

    My experience is with the iPhone 4S and the "new" iPad, both of which I ordered early on the opening pre-order day. In both cases the wording from Apple during the media event was "pre-orders will start on ABC date for delivery on XYZ date" which was also the same day they were to go on sale in stores.  In both cases, the UPS truck rolled up earlier than usual XYZ date as promised to hand me my new iPhone/iPad. In both cases there were instances of confusion due to some pre-order confirmations stating incorrectly "SCHEDULED SHIPPING DATE: XYZ".  In both cases that caused much fear, panick, and trepidation that fed upon itself as it permeated a widely scattered forum linked community of "adults" that seem to collectively revert to a state of childish impatience and ultimately child-like glee as they obsessively refresh their dedicated tracking browser window; become convinced that there is no hope of escaping the dread delayed shippment, and then finally receive their new toy exactly when they were supposed to.  Not that I personally would ever succumb to that of course.  Er uhm ... it's just what I've seen you know .. nothing I can really relate to.

  • I accidently checked the don't ask me again button when closing firefox, how do i uncheck it?

    I accidentally checked the box that says don't ask me again when it prompted if i wanted to save and quit. However, i need it to ask me this so how do i un-check the box?

    First check the following setting. In the Tools menu select Options. In the Options dialog go to the General panel and make sure the setting "When Firefox Starts" is not set to "Show my windows and tabs from last time", you can set it to either of the other 2 choices.
    Now reset the 3 preferences that relate to warning when closing Firefox.
    # Type '''about:config''' into the location bar and press enter
    # Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
    # Find the following 3 preferences, right-click on them and choose '''Reset''' (if reset is not available they will already be at their default value)
    ## browser.tabs.warnOnClose
    ## browser.warnOnQuit
    ## browser.warnOnRestart
