Firefox does not warm when closing or quitting multiple tabs

Even though I have it set to warn me when closing or quitting, Firefox will quit and close multiple tabs. It defeats the purpose of having that setting turned on in the first place. Please help.

It looks like a setting I thought I had turned on was not:
browser.showQuitWarning: true

  • Firefox does not "close" when closed under Windows 7; Task Manager must be used to "End Process." How do I close Firefox and reopen it without getting a "Still Running" error message?

    Even though Firefox has been updated multiple times (currently using Ver. 3.6.13) since I started using Windows 7, I am still unable to totally close it from the toolbar or taskbar. Firefox does closeout on the screen but apparently continues to run in the background. If I open Firefox at a later time, I get an error message stating that Firefox is still running. I then have to go Task Manager to "End Process." Electing to do so allows me to restart Firefox. I never had this problem with Firefox when using Windows XP and I never have this problem with any other software under Windows 7.

  • Firefox is not warning when closing multiple tabs, even though it is set to warn me in preferences!

    Firefox is not warning when closing multiple tabs, even though it is set to warn me in preferences! Unchecking and rechecking the box does not help, it's as if Firefox is ignoring the option to warn when closing multiple tabs.

    You can set the warn prefs on the about:config page to true via the right-click context menu or toggle with a double left-click.

    To open the <i>about:config</i> page, type <b>about:config</b> in the location (address) bar and press the "<i>Enter</i>" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.<br />
    If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.<br />
    You can use History > Restore Previous Session to get back the previous session.<br />
    There is also a "Restore Previous Session" button on the default about:home Home page.

  • Firefox does not open when clicking on the icon, the firefox.exe process consumes 99 % of the CPU and my computer runs slowly.

    I have been a happy user of Firefox for many years. Around last April first I opened Firefox and was offered an update to v 4.42.0.0 which I accepted. Installation seemingly went well. I forget now exactly what happened but the result has been that ever since April 1 I haven’t been able to open the Firefox browser when clicking on the Firefox icon. My computer now was running very slowly. I tried to uninstall Firefox, but a popup told me I couldn’t because Firefox was in use. This confused me because I couldn’t see it being used. Only now I have found that on Task Manager processes that “firefox.exe” was consuming 99 % of the CPU. After removing firefox.exe by clicking End Process my computer ran better. I uninstalled Firefox I had on my computer and installed Firefox 5.0. Unfortunately I have the same problems: Firefox does not open when clicking on the icon, the firefox.exe process consumes 99 % of the CPU and my computer runs slowly.

    Born2die! Brilliant. I am a desktop clicker and never knew Firefox had a safe mode.
    Thank You!
    I was unable to start in safe mode initially. The second time I disabled all of the Add-Ons and she started up just fine. I enabled them one by one hoping to track down the culprit but the problem seems to have gone away.
    BTW I am running ver. 3.6.8 (in response to cor-el's earlier post) and
    Firefox is in the process of downloading 3.6.10 (which I am starting to think may have been what caused this whole problem to begin with)
    Incidentally, whats up with all of the Java Console Add Ons?
    I have:
    Java Console 6.0.11, Java Console 6.0.13, Java Console 6.0.15
    Java Console 6.0.17, Java Console 6.0.20, and Java Console 6.0.21
    What are they? Do I need them? Can I uninstall them? Is this due to using Open Office?
    Also, .NET Framework 0.0.0 Should I uninstall it?

    You mention Thunderbird, has the PDF file been emailed to you? If it has this support page from Adobe may help - http://www.adobe.com/fr/support/toptech/acrobat/319294/

  • Firefox 4b10 does not warn when closing multiple tabs (setting is on).

    Hey,
    Firefox 4b10 won't warn me when I'm about to close multiple tabs. I have verified this setting is on multiple times.
    The only reason I think this is happening is when I decided to download Firefox 3 (latest version). I installed it to see if IPTV would work on it, and decided to uninstall it. This also ended up deleting some of my addon's such as ABP.
    I've tried uninstalling FF, using CCleaner and then reinstalling it.
    For some reason when I install FF4, I can't seem to find the SAFE MODE option, even when I run it with "firefox -safe-mode".
    Could someone help please????
    Thanks. :D

  • Yosemite - Safari still does not warn when closing multiple tabs, what will it take to get Apple to add this simple option?

    I cannot understand why Apple does not add the option to warn you when closing multiple tabs. There are posts all over the Internet requesting the feature or looking for a way to do it.  Why do they totally ignore this valuable, simple feature?

    Thanks for the support.  I guess you take one battle at at time because you hate to lose multiple battles and I picked this one. However, and this could go on quite a while, why do I have to buy another application to sort my bookmarks and have the sort sync the Cloud?. Bookmark sort - that is a programming 101 feature. Now I found that iPhoto can read AVCHD video files and Quicktime cannot.  Oh my. I wish Apple would read the posts and actually take them into consideration. It would make their users feel more included.  I do like Yosemite and love email markup. Good job but the customers have a few good ideas too.
    At least you can Air Drop to Mac now!

  • I cannot connect to the login page of my banking websites for Firefox but can from IE also firefox does not close when I shut it down I have just done a clean instal of windowsws7 and teh problem persists on reinstall of FF3.6.13

    I can connect with my banking websites but the login page will not come up. This is a recent occurrence and I have done virus scans and have also recently done a clean instal of Windows 7. The problem persists. I can connect to any other website with no problems. When I close FF it appears to close and Task manager shows as not running but it will not reopen. If I attempt to uninstall I am told that FF is running and needs to be closed. I have to reboot to get to close and be able to reopen.
    I can connect to the bank sites with IE. However I really don't like IE.

    I don't have an answer, but I experienced the same problems trying to set up an airport express to route traffic to my stereo.
    Apple Extreme router, iMac and laptop all worked just fine for months, upon installing Airport Express (step by step, according to instructions), all **** broke loose. Airport Utility was unable to see my Airport Extreme router, after hours of rebooting computer, cable modem, router, and finally a hard reset of the Airport Extreme router, it is finally recognized by Airport Utility again.
    Recreated network, iMac connects to the internet just fine, laptop (Macbook Air) connects to the network just fine, but will not connect to the internet. Network diagnostics does not help, it gets to the "do you have a router? If so, reboot" stage, and never seems to see the router.
    Any suggestions?

  • Customization for Firefox 29 not staying when closing and reopening firefox

    The only add-on I have added in an attempt to get this new version of firefox to not look so much like a crowded mess is Classic Theme Restorer. My problem is when I click on the "new" customization tool and move say the bookmark star button or say one of my older add-ons like my email checker. I finally get it so this thing is at least passable to me now and close out of the new customize page. I can do that just fine, the problem I then have is if I close out of Firefox - say shut down the computer - then come back a bit later everything has been moved around.
    Things I had on the left side of the screen are now on the right. Buttons are back to their default or just missing all together. Is this a glitch? Or am I just doing something wrong?

    Hello,
    This happens in safe mode?

    Maybe you have a corrupted localstore.rdf, try unhide the hidden files and folder, go to you profile folder, close Firefox, delete or rename the lcalstore.rdf file and restart Firefox, then try make and changes and check if the problem still occur:

  • Firefox does not start when I click, but consume a lot of resourcein task manager

    Hello,
    Since a few days, when I click Firefox, it does not start anymore (browser Windows does not appear anymore).
    Also, I noticed that after I click, my computer makes a lot of noise et becomes slow & gets almost blocked: I can see that in the task manager/processes, firefox is there and consume a lot of memory ressources.
    Can you help ?
    Thanks

    Hello,
    Thanks for you reply. What you propose me is to create a new profile and transfer the files from the old profiles to the new.
    I am not interested by this option as I want to keep my current profile as I am using programs working on this profile and also have Firefox working on this profile.
    But I have a new information which might help. I did not see it during my last tentative but after a few minutes after Mozilla launch, there was like a bug report which were generated.
    I copy paste below. Hope that it can help :

    How do I uninstall a program that is running in the background but does not show in Force Quit?

    Open Activity Monitor and look for the program.  Select it and Quit or Force quit it from within Acitiviy Monitor.
    Search for the application with Find Any File as it can search areas that Spotlight can't, like invisible folders, system folders and packages.  You can drag the app and any associated files from the search result window to the Trash bin in the Dock.

    Firefox will crash while I am using the internet...no warning, no apparent reason...just an apology for the crash. Why?
    Today, when using an Adobe application Firefox did not recognize or allow the website to recognize that "cookies" WERE enabled. I kept receiving a message that the website could not proceed until same was enabled. Even after several redoing the enabling instructions, the message report the cookies were NOT enabled. Yet, as I write this the screen menu drop down in Tools, Options shows the cookies is programmed and are enabled. Why? How to fix?

  • HT1776 MacBook does not sleep when closed

    I have a Late 2013 Retina Macbook Pro running Mavericks.  Sometimes when I close the lid, it does not sleep or turn off the display, even after the set time in Energy Saver preferences.  My main concern is that I have my security settings set to lock my computer 5 seconds after sleep/turning off the display, and this does not happen, as it does not go to sleep.  The only way I notice is that when I open the computer some time later, the screen is already on and it is not locked.  There are no periphials connected when this happens.
