How do I set Safari 5 to ask before closing multiple tabs?

Safari 4 was set to ask before closing multiple tabs, but when I upgraded to 5 this was no longer an option. I've looked in Preferences with no luck and the Help menu has no information. Now I lose websites when the window is inadvertently closed.

Not exactly what is wanted, but it is possible to disable ⌘Q in Safari. I rarely quit Safari so losing this feature is a minor inconvenience compared to the occasional rage-inducing accidental quit.
Go to System Preference > Keyboard.
Choose Keyboard Shortcuts
Click Application Shortcuts
Press the + button
Under Application choose Safari
For Menu Title input "Bring All to Front". (You could use some other innocuous menu option here)
For Short Cut use ⌘Q
This remaps the ⌘Q, thereby avoiding quitting if your fingers miss ⌘W.

How do I set Safari to prompt before closing multiple tabs OR reopen all of the closed tabs when when I relaunch the application? The "Reopen all windows from last session" is unselectable.

It would seem if your choose "Show my windows and tabs from last time" '''''and''''',
*when you last closed Firefox, you had no web site open (just a blank tab), that it would open just that blank tab
*when you last closed Firefox, you had one or more tabs/web site open, that would allow you to "Restore Previous Session"
#Have you tried that?
#If so, what is happening in each circumstance when you reopen Firefox?
'''Restore Previous Session''' 
Open tabs are automatically saved when closing Firefox beginning in Firefox 4. To open your last session, after Firefox starts, click History > Restore Previous Session. For this to work

The prefs for Save & Quit the warning message have been set by default to false in current Firefox 4 beta versions (Bug 592822 - Remove quit warning dialog).
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.
* browser.tabs.warnOnClose , see http://kb.mozillazine.org/About%3Aconfig_entries
* browser.warnOnQuit , see http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.warnOnQuit
* browser.warnOnRestart , see http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.warnOnRestart

If you check the don't show this again box when closing multiple tabs, how do you get it to warn you when closing multiple tabs, or to save previous tabs? Checking the warn me when closing multiple tabs box under tools/tabs does not work to solve this?

I accidentally checked the do not ask me again box when closing multiple tabs. Now I no longer get a warning when closing multiple tabs, and it saves my previous session. I have tried checking and un-checking the warn me box under tools which has not worked. If I open a second window and try to close multiple tabs it will warn me but not on the first window.

You can reset the warn prefs on the about:config page via the right-click context menu.
browser.tabs.warnOnClose , see http://kb.mozillazine.org/About%3Aconfig_entries
browser.warnOnQuit , see http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.warnOnQuit
browser.warnOnRestart , see http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.warnOnRestart
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.

How do I set Safari to prompt me to choose a filename when downloading?

I can't figure this out at all. How do I set Safari to give me a dialog box in which I can choose my own filename when downloadiing a file? Right now, as soon as I click "download linked file" it just puts the files straight on my desktop with whatever filename was assigned to it.
This will help me identify files as I often download files saved with numerical names.

8330 Call Forwarding...How do I set the number of rings before calls are forwarded?

8330 Call Forwarding...How do I set the number of rings before calls are forwarded? Right now it instantly forwards my calls but I don't want that. I want to change it so that let's say that if after 5 rings I don't answer the call is forwarded. I've looked everywhere for an answer but have had no luck. Any help would be appreciated. I am with Virgin Mobile if this makes a difference.
Thank you

Well, call forwarding is a feature provided by your carrier -- it is not a function of the device. However it works for your carrier is how it works. Actually, from what I understand about call forwarding, it normally is an all-or-nothing circumstance...calls forward to the number you've asked them to be forwarded to, keeping you in a DND status. Regardless, though, if your carrier tells you how it works on their system, there's nothing that the device can do to override that. Unless there is some kind of 3rd party app that would do it, bypassing (somehow) the carrier network CF feature...but I've never heard of such a thing.

I have my setting for downloads on ask before downloading; however, MOzilla thinks they're so awesome that I need Firefox 23. the problem is that it interferes

I have set my download on ask before downloading; however, I guess the program gets a little put off because it keeps asking and I keep saying "NO". Unfortunately, it takes it upon itself to download anyway. I love Firefox; however, I have been informed by my school where I teach online courses, that there are problems with Firefox 23 and our LMS. I DO NOT want to have to keep installing Firefox 22 throughout the semester. How can I get the damn browser to quit doing what it wants and pay attention to my settings? Thank you

It worked. No more Firefox 23 until I say so. Thank you for all the time and energy you expended on this issue. Computer Whiz, you're a charm!
the-edmeister, Computer Whiz had already solved the problem. I didn't need to work with yours. Sorry.

How do i set up a slideshow with pictures from multiple iphoto libraries?

How do i set up a slideshow with pictures from multiple iphoto libraries? One library is in my Macbook Harddrive, the other 2 libraries are in an external harddrive. Thank you!!

You can't, simply. An iPhoto Slideshow can only draw from a single library, so you'll need to get all the images into one.
Alternatives to iPhoto's slideshow include:
iMovie is on every Mac sold.
Others, in order of price:
PhotoToMovie $49.95
PulpMotion $129
FotoMagico $99
Final Cut Pro X $299
It's difficult to compare these apps. They have differences in capability - some are driven off templates. some aren't. Some have a wider variety of transitions. Others will have excellent audio controls. It's worth checking them out to see what meets your needs. However, there is no doubt that Final Cut Pro X is the most capable app of them all. You get what you pay for.

How to set reminder that I am closing multiple tabs?

On another computer, I had set a reminder to warn me if I was
closing more then one tab. I cannot find a way to set this warning on a different computer.
Handicapped and need simple answer.

Tools > Options > Tabs: [√] "Warn me when closing multiple tabs"

Firefox 11 does not warn me when closing multiple tabs. How do I do this?

(Tools/options/tabs tab/ warn me when closing multiple tabs) How can I get this to work so I can set it once and keep the warning in different sessions.
(Other replies seem to indicate it has to be done through config for each session)
Thanks Alf
OS XP Pro sp3
Firefox v11

Hi AlfLinus,
You should only have to set it once. Does the actual checkbox disappear when you open a new session? You should look at the article [[Preferences are not saved]]. Firefox might be having trouble writing to your pref.js file.
Hopefully this helps!
