Warning when closing Safari page with multiple open tabs

I have just upgradred to Mountain Lion, and Safari 6.0. In Snow Leopard, and the version of Safari it used (I don't remember the version), there was a handy little warning dialog box which has now disappeared:
Previously, when I clicked the Close button on a Safari page with more than one tab open, I got a warning asking whether I really wanted to do that, and giving me the option to cancel or proceed. Since I regularly clicked the Page Close button by mistake instead of the Tab Close button, this warning was a life-saver.
I no longer get this dialog in ML and Safari 6.0, and I cannot find a preference or option to get it back. Does anybody know how to do it, or is it no longer possible?
Thanks.

At variance with Firefox 3, Firefox 4 does not ask me to save the opened tabs when I quit on having multiple opened tabs. How can I do this in Firefox 4?

In Firefox 3, when I happened to close the program on having multiple opened tabs, Firefox asked me if I wanted to save and remember the opened tabs, so that I could retrieve them at the next Firefox restart. Firefox 4 does not do this anymore. Is it because I have not configured it correctly somehow, or is this normal? How can I recover this function?
Thanks in advance,
Andrea

One change in Firefox 4 is to by default stop Firefox displaying the warning message, but it can be turned back on by changing some preferences.
# 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
# Locate the preference '''browser.tabs.warnOnClose''', if its value is set to '''false''', double-click on it to change its value to '''true'''
# Repeat this for these 3 preferences '''browser.warnOnQuit''', '''browser.warnOnRestart''' and '''browser.showQuitWarning'''

When closing 2 windows(with multiple tabs each), system restore does not properly restore the second window's tabs. Is this a bug in the new update/any ideas to fix?

I regularly use 2 windows with multiple tabs each and session restore would work to get them all back, but after this latest update the second window does not restore properly, with the first tab not visible on top(only in drop down menu) and the add a tab button now on the left(instead of right). The add a tab button is not really concerning other than it indicates other problems with the tabs on tab of the 2nd window. Not having the 1st tab visible is frustrating, because I can not move it or as easily navigate. Also, the tabs on top of the 2nd window that are visible no longer have the "x" to close visible unless that tab is selected. I'm assuming this is a problem with the new release/update, since this is the first time I've ever encountered the problem, and I've shut down and restored Firefox a few times to make sure this was a recurring problem and not a one-time deal. Any ideas on how to fix would be welcome(other than perhaps cramming my tabs onto one window or sucking it up XD).

Firefox 25.0.1 Warn when closing multiple tabs (on) conflicts with "show windows und tabs from last time" (on); need both, but only one or the other works.

Using Firefox 25.0.1 on Windows 7 Home Premium
I've poured through support forums for Mozilla Firefox searching for a fix to my initial problem of the "Warn when closing multiple tabs" pop up not popping up when I have it selected.
Went through About:Config, making sure warnings for tabs und closing, und showing on quit, und quitting, etc. were all set to true, which were "possible" fixes for the issue I was having, there are like five or six things set to true for warnings/quitting/etc. No avail. They are all set to true.
Then I stumbled across one that suggested a conflict with the "Warn When Closing Multiple Tabs" und the "Show Windows und Tabs from last time".
I use both features. However, I found if I want the warning pop up for closing multiple tabs, I have to have "show homepage" or "show blank page" selected instead of "Show windows und tabs from last time" selected. (Tools>Options>General>Start Up>When Firefox Starts:) The problem with this is, yes, I get my warning pop up, BUT, I don't get my tabs from my last session.
The warning in settings (Tools>Options>Tabs>Warn Me When Closing Multiple Tabs) is checked.
To have my tabs restored from last session, I simply select it for "when firefox starts". Bam, I have my tabs that were open from the last time I quit. Und again, full circle, I don't have my warning pop up.
There were also suggestions of the warning on close for tabs is conflicting with add-ons.
However, I don't have many. Und I have yet to test them to see if they interfere. These are according to my Add Ons tab when I check it myself.
Extensions:
1. Avast WebRep (disabled)
2. HP Smart Web Printing (disabled)
Plugins:
1. Adobe Acrobat
2. Google Update
3. iTunes Application Detector
4. Java (TM) Platform SE 7 U45
5. Shockwave Flash
6. Shockwave For Director
7. Silverlight Plug-In
8. VLC Web Plugin
9. Windows Live Photo Gallery
10. Java Deployment Toolkit (disabled)
Note: The Details Firefox provides says I have these for Plugins
* Shockwave Flash 11.9 r900
* Adobe Shockwave for Director Netscape plug-in, version 12.0.5.146
* Next Generation Java Plug-in 10.45.2 for Mozilla browsers
* Google Update
* Adobe PDF Plug-In For Firefox and Netscape 11.0.05
* VLC media player Web Plugin 2.1.0
* 5.1.20913.0
* iTunes Detector Plug-in
* NPWLPG
Unsure of what the "5.1.20913.0" und the "NPWLPG" plugins are, but they don't appear to me under Add Ons.
Und as usual, I'm assuming the solution lies within About:Config, I will show here now what I have set to True.
browser.tabs.warnOnClose - True
browser.tabs.warnOnCloseOtherTabs - True
browser.tabs.warnOnOpen - True
browser.warnOnQuit - True
browser.showQuitWarning - True
As aforementioned:
The seemingly only issue is the conflict between Show Windows/Tabs From Last Time und the Warn On Quit pop up. Und again, I need/want both of them. More so the tabs from the last session, but I really really really really really want the warning.
So, if anyone knows a work around, preferably without having to download anything to fix this, I would be extremely grateful.

You mention a second subject.
''I'm probably going to downgrade to another version of firefox that was suggested to me since I'm also having issues with shockwave flash causing firefox to hang und ultimately needs to be force closed otherwise having to have flash disabled to use firefox.''
<u>Downgrading Firefox </u><br />
Flash is notorious for causing Firefox problems. I suggest you start a new thread about that. If at all possible you should try to avoid downgrading to an unsecure & unsupported version of Firefox. it will increase risks to your system and Personal data. (There are methods of mitigating the risks, using a virtual machine or operating within a secure intranet for instance)
*(Do Not) [[Install an older version of Firefox]]
<u>Try Flash with Protected Mode Off</u><br/>
Worth a try as it takes minimal effort & often solves Flash Problems whilst allowing current and more secure FlashPlayer to be used. See
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Flash#Flash_Player_11.3_Protected_Mode_-_Windows
* http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1018071#TemporaryWorkaround
If you wish to pursue these subjects further I note you have already started a thread you may as well continue the discussion in that thread, but also post back here so we can follow both.
* ''Firefox is having "Script" issues (Not Responding) und possibly Flash issues?'' [/questions/978181]
** try ensuring you close down Firefox using the menu, that may even help with Flash problems.
<u>Your experience in submitting troubleshooting information on the forum</u><br />
(This is out of curiosity, but with the intention of pressing for changes if forum faults are discovered.)
There are yet more changes to this forum underway. Mozilla recently tried to improve the experience for first time users of the forum and a troubleshooting app option was included in the workflow to try to encourage users to submit full troubleshooting information.
I would be interested to know what you thought
I sometimes wonder if users are not trying to use that, or whether forum users run into problems in using it. At one point I wondered whether there was a problem if too much data was included but never actually proved that conjecture.
Assuming you are using the forum, and not merely replying by email look towards the top in the right hand margin for clickable buttons
* Question Details -V- More System Details -> [Additional System Details]
You will note that includes only partial information. There are no changed prefs or extensions listed. Compare for instance the information in this thread [/questions/978130] with full information.
I believe your mystery plugins are Windows related
* NPWLPG relates usually to Windows Live Photo Gallery
* 5.1.20913.0 will be Silverlight

Firefox 21.0 doesn't warn when closing multiple tabs

I have a Mac OS X, version 10.6.8. I'm using Firefox 21.0. I have the box checked to warn me when closing multiple tabs. It does not. Why? Is there anything I can do to make it work correctly? Any information I've been able to find on the internet is for other versions of Firefox and is of no help to me.

PROBLEM: Windows FF 21.0 warns when closing multiple tabs when ONE occurance of FF is open, but NOT when mutlipe windows are open (then it only warns once I'm down to 1 window open).
I would like a warning for ALL windows' multiple tabs. I know this is possible because that has always been the case until approx. the latest update.
Oddly enough, the only thing close I found is a post from 2011 with the exact opposite problem: warning only when multiple windows are open, but not when 1 window is open.)
SUMMARY attempts gleaned and compiled from the various posts (with no effect):
- at General tab, "Show my home page" is selected ("Show my windows and tabs from last time" is NOT selected)
-at Tabs tab, "Warn me when closing multiple tabs" is selected
- at Privacy tab, "Use custom settings for history" is selected along with "Always use private browsing mode" (is selected); however, this has always been my setting, and I've always received warnings in multiple windows until recently
- staring in Safe mode had no effect
- my about:config boolean settings are appropriately set to true/false
- I've tried restarting Firefox multiple times and restarting the computer; I have not re-installed FF nor restarted from fresh, wiping out all settings because I have so many customizations.
Any other thoughts of what I might try?

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.
* browser.showQuitWarning, see http://blog.zpao.com/post/3174360617/about-that-quit-dialog
* 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 <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.
Another possibility is to use:

I am using a Photoshop cs2, and I wonder if it is possible to keep the settings of the guidelines when closing an image, with the actual document ? It would be nice to have the guidelines locked down, I find it than when opening the same or another image,

I am using a Photoshop cs2, and I wonder if it is possible to keep the settings of the guidelines when closing an image, with the actual document ? It would be nice to have the guidelines locked down, I find it than when opening the same or another image, the guidelines are not locked, it is annoying to have to lock them down again. and it would actually be nice, to ba able to give specific directions when placing the guidelines. Thanks

Then why are the guides unlocked when I reopen a document that I saved with the guides locked ?
Thanks.

when i close window with multiple tabs and start new session (open new window) old tabs open again, how can i stop it?

It is possible that there is a problem with the files [http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js sessionstore.js] and sessionstore.bak in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder]
Delete [http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js sessionstore.js] and sessionstore.bak in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder]
* Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well.
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note).

Warn when closing multiple tabs

I find it really annoying that there is not an option to warn when closing multiple tabs (as there is in Firefox). The number of times I've pressed Apple Key + Q accidently when I meant to press Apple Key + W!
I hope this will be tackled in a forthcoming release.

Firefox 8 and the "Warn when closing...multiple tabs" preference check box still doesn't work?

I'm aware that I can go into the about:config screen and toggle a couple of settings but the real question is "Why is this still a problem since version 4?" Why bother to have Preferences at all, if the given solution is always to tweak the config?

This hint was posted on a similar link that works for me. Here is what to do:
In option -> privacy -> choose "use custom history setting" and choose your preference for history and cookie setting. and then click "OK'.
Then you will get the warning when closing multiple tabs.
It doesn't seem to be related but it does affect the operation of the other part of the software that issues the warning.

Preference to have Safari launch with previously open webpages not showing up

In Mountalin Lion v. 10.8.2, there was supposed to be a preference to have Safari launch with previously open webpages. I have looked multiple times in the preferences for Safari and can't find this setting.
Thanks so much!
I have tried installing Mountain Lion again and it didn't help.

That new Safari preference only appears if you have 'Close windows when quitting an application' checked in System Preferences>General.
If you do 'close windows when quitting an application', then allowing Safari to reopen its windows is a useful option. If you don't 'close windows when quitting an application', then Safari windows should reopen automatically anyway on launch so you don't need the extra preference setting.

Display a warning when leaving a page

Hi,
I have created multiple APEX pages and would like to create a warning when leaving a page when changes are made to the page. Iam new to APEX and javascripts. We are using Oracle APEX 4.1, connecting to a 11 g database and Internet Explorer 8.0. I have seen postings from older versions of APEX and have attempted to use the logic and receive multiple screen prompts. I appreciate your assistance with this challenge.
Thanks

U/tube videos open when using Safari but will not open when using Firefox.

u/tube videos open fine when using Safari but will not open when using Firefox. With Firefox I get the unhighlighted Quicktime symbol with a question mark in the center. WHY?? Any help appreciated --- Toroya

Hmmmm, strange you view YouTube in Safari & not FF. Which version of FF are you using?
Try the following:
Repair permissions & restart.
Make sure you have the latest versions of Adobe Flash Player Software
QuickTime Preferences > Advanced > MIME Stettings > Miscellaneous.
Deactivate the "Flash Media" option.

Target Spry RowID on page with Multiple data sets from another page

Hi all,
I am trying to target a specific data item, on a page with
multiple data sets, from a link on another page. (I also have to
pass the link through Flash, but lets start with the simple
part...)
You can take a look at the site in progress here:
http://www.3andband.com/TestSite/iframeTest3.html
From the Home page I want to link to specific news or concert
items on the News page
I have been trying to get SpryURLUtils to do it but I can't
seem to get it working.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Ben

did u try if it even passes the row value?? with a simple
alert? alert(params.row)
Also maby u need to reorder the scripts to this;
<script src="../SpryAssets/SpryURLUtils.js"
type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="../SpryAssets/xpath.js"
type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="../SpryAssets/SpryData.js"
type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="../SpryAssets/SpryCollapsiblePanel.js"
type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="../SpryAssets/SpryEffects.js"
type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="../SpryAssets/SpryAccordion.js"
type="text/javascript"></script>
and your js script
var params = Spry.Utils.getLocationParamsAsObject();
var dsConcerts = new
Spry.Data.XMLDataSet("includes/concerts.xml", "Concerts/concert");
dsConcerts.setColumnType("image", "image");
var dsNews = new Spry.Data.XMLDataSet("includes/news.xml",
"News/item");
//Set an observer so that when the data is loaded, we update
the current row to the url param value
dsNews.addObserver({ onPostLoad: function(ds, type) {
dsNews.setCurrentRow(params.row); }
function MM_effectBlind(targetElement, duration, from, to,
toggle)
Spry.Effect.DoBlind(targetElement, {duration: duration,
from: from, to: to, toggle: toggle});
So url params get loaded before the data
