Why DOESN'T Firefox VERSION 6.0.2 warn me when "You are about to close multiple tabs. Do you want to continue"? aka "Confirm Close".

Hello. I have a Windows 7 HP Mini Netbook 32-bit. I just installed Firefox version 6.0.2 (the most updated one). Under
Tools ---> Options ---> Tabs, "Warn me when closing multiple tabs" is checked. However, when I have multiple tabs open and I click on "X" (accidentally one time), it closed Firefox. No warning at all. I tested it again and again (checking the box, unchecking it, then checking it again), and it keeps closing all my tabs without warning.
FYI...I also have a work laptop (Windows XP) and for some reason the "Confirm close" shows up when I try to close multiple tabs.
Thank you.

Firefox does not ask to save tabs and windows on exit

  • Why the new firefox version 31.0 is getting stuck when something is downloaded.

    Why the new firefox version 31.0 is getting stuck when something is downloaded. After force restart also same issue (still the download status is showing the same and again getting stuck) for 4-5 times and then it asks for to clear all the data. After that it is working fine. Again If I download something facing the same issue. Its really irritating. I am using windows7.

    While you are in safe mode;
    Press the '''Alt''' or '''F10''' key to bring up the tool bar.
    Followed by;
    Windows; '''Tools > Options'''
    Linux; '''Edit > Preferences'''
    Mac; ''application name'' '''> Preferences'''
    Then '''Advanced > General.'''
    Look for and turn off '''Use Hardware Acceleration'''.
    Poke around safe web sites. Are there any problems?
    Then restart.

  • Why Doesn't Firefox 34.0.5 Render Any Web Pages - All Are Blank White

    I am using Firefox on on W7-SP1 computer and three W8.1 computers
    I upgraded to 34.0.5 from 33.1.1. None of the pages on any website render. All pages are just blank white. The Yoono sidebard works. Popup message from Firefox shows..
    Steps I took to try and solve problem
    1. Disabled all extensions - Did not solve problem
    2. Did an uninstall and clean install - Did not solve problem
    3. Turned off Web Protection in Bitdefender Internet Sececurity 2015 - Did no solve problem
    4. Turned off Web Protection in Malwarebytes 2.03 - Did not work
    5. Turned off Protection in Malwarebyes Anti-Exploit - Did not work
    I am also using Malwarebytes

    Hey,
    I really hope I can help some of you poor ones who have that problem because I had it, too! Right after upgrading to Version 34.0.5, no webpages displayed any content but a blank. It annoyed me very much, especially since it's hard to get an earlier Firefox version and seemingly impossible to downgrade. What helped me in the end was:
    Disabling one of my add-ons, namely "Privacy Defense".
    I had to find out what caused the trouble. So I went to reset my Firefox to the original settings, thereby getting rid of all my add-ons. Webpages were working normally as before. I re-downloaded my old add-ons. Everything worked fine. Until I got to "privacy defense" which doesn't even require a restart of Firefox. When I had downloaded it, no webpages would look any other than blank! So I disabled it - and everything was back to normal. So:
    Tools > add-ons > guilty add-on (for me Privacy Defense) > disable it.
    It seems as though certain add-ons aren't compatible with this new Firefox version. So check them. (Also, my contrast settings, colours and fonts I had chosen weren't the problem.)
    Really hope this helps someone.
    Good luck!

  • Since installing 4.0.1 I can't right click on the Icon in my task bar and have Firefox give me the option of "close and save" the tabs. Only let's me know I'm about to close multiple tabs. How do I get "save and close" back?

    Before installing 4.0.1 I could right click on the Firefox icon on my computer's taskbar and hit close window. It would then give me the option to "save tabs and quit" or "close all tabs."
    Now it just alerts me that I'll be closing multiple tabs.
    It was convenient to be able to close Firefox and open it with all of the tabs in place. There is nothing more irritating than having multiple tabs lost because your computer did an update overnight and restarted. Also it was helpful when you wanted to run a tun-up or cleaner that asked you close out of your browser for optimum result's.
    How do I get "save and quit" back?
    Thanks

    Firefox now always stores the old session, and you can access it by going to the History menu and selecting "Restore Previous Session"
    If you want Firefox to display the message to save the session, 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'''
    If you always open the last set of tabs, an alternative approach is this:
    # Click the orange Firefox button, then select options to open the options window
    # Go to the General panel
    # Change the setting "When Firefox starts" to "Show my windows and tabs from last time"

  • Why doesn't Firefox auto-update Flash Player like Chrome does?

    For security reasons and less hassle, I like Chrome auto-updates Flash Player. Why doesn't Firefox do this?

    Google Chrome has it's own version of the Flash plugin that is apart of the Google Chrome installation files.<br />
    So Google needs to do a full update with every Flash release.
    Firefox uses the Flash plugin as installed in your Linux distribution,<br />
    If your Ubuntu Linux distribution doesn't have an automatic update for Flash then you need to do that manually.

    Make sure that you not run Firefox in (permanent) [[Private Browsing]] mode
    * You enter Private Browsing mode if you select: Tools > Options > Privacy > History: Firefox will: "Never Remember History"
    * To see all History and Cookie settings, choose: Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting <b>Firefox will: Use custom settings for history</b>
    * Uncheck: [ ] "Automatically start Firefox in a private browsing session"

  • Why doesn't the rotate gesture on my trackpad behave as it used to for switching between tabs when it works the same with all other programs besides Firefox?

    Why doesn't the rotate gesture on my trackpad behave as it used to for switching between tabs when it works the same with all other programs besides Firefox?
    I changed the about:config to make the rotate gesture move between tabs, and it worked great for well over a year. Now it behaves erratically as described here:
    https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=877598
    It used to be very controllable to move one tab over, now it is erratic and moves quickly and to unexpected tabs regardless of how slow I do the rotate gesture. This is the main reason I use Firefox over Chrome and I would like to continue to do so unless there is no fix to this.

    Just set the browser.gesture.twist.threshold to something around 15-25.

  • Why doesn't my version of Photoshop or Lightroom support my camera?

    For a complete overview on camera support in Photoshop and Lightroom, read Jeff Tranberry's article Why doesn't my version of Photoshop or Lightroom support my camera?

    Hmph... It does not work for me, when I click Update in CS6, it says all applications are up to date! That then shows Camera Raw being 7.3...
    I then launched LR 4.3 and was greeted with the update to 4.4, which worked perfectly fine.
    I returned to CS6 and checked again, to no avail...
    So my LR is now stating 4.4 and Camera Raw 7.4, however CS6 is still showing Camera Raw 7.3!
    Any ideas, or help?
    I own perpetual license and am working on OSX 10.8.3, for all it matter.

  • When saving files from the internet, why doesn't Firefox 'know' to put .jpg files in "Photos" and pdf files in "Documents"?

    When saving files from the internet, why doesn't Firefox 'know' to put .jpg files in "Photos" and pdf files in "Documents"? IE always saved photos in the "Photos" file and documents in the "Documents" file. Firefox makes me choose every time. Very annoying.

    How about if Firefox is programmed like IE in this ONE thing...
    When saving files from internet sources, if the file ends in a typical photo extension such as .jpg, .bmp, .tif etc. it defaults to save it in your PHOTOS folder.
    When saving anything like a .doc, .pdf etc. it defaults to save it to your DOCUMENTS.
    You could still change it to 'desktop' if that if really where you want all your photos and documents... or some other folder that you decide, but DEFAULTS to the LOGICAL folder.
    I have carpal tunnel SO bad that even typing this suggestion is painful and having to make the extra click along with moving the mouse EVERY time I want to save something is painful.
    ALSO, I shouldn't need a bunch of ADDONS to accomplish this. I tried downloading one and it did nothing. The problem still exists.

  • Firefox crashes when i clear recent history if multiple tabs are open, is anyone else experiencing this?

    Firefox crashes (hangs, requires me to force close, and then doesn't actually clear the history) when i clear recent history if multiple tabs are open, i do this so i only lose the history and can maintain the tabs i want for the next session.
    I have always done this in Versions 3 without an issue, since moving to Version 4 it happens semi regularly. the more tabs i have open the higher the likelyhood of an error
    is anyone else experiencing this?
    Windows 7 pro sp1
    firefox 4
    addons: no script, adblock, pterodactl, imagezoom, reddit reveal, java, tinyeye, better privacy.

    This happens to me too. OS winXP home.

  • I accidently closed my window with all my app tabs, now the only window that opens was a 2nd one I had open. How do I get back all my app tabs from the previous window, and why didn't it give me the usual warning you are closing more than one tab?

    I accidently closed the window with all my frequently used app tabs, now the only window that opens was an extra one I had opened. How do I get back all my app tabs from the previous window, and why didn't it give me the usual warning you are closing more than one tab? edit
    Details

    Then the (App) tabs from that window are lost unless you can restore an older copy of the sessionstore.js file (Time Machine?) that has that lost window.

  • I quit multiple tabs Firefox sent the warning prompt. As I was going to click save and quit I accidentally pressed the "save these settings". Now I jsut wonder, how do I turn it off, so that Fireox sends the prompt whenever I try to close multiple tabs?

    This might sound stupid, but once when I was about to quit Firefox, I got the warning prompt if I wanted to close multiple tabs.. As I was going to click save and quit I accidentally pressed the "save these settings". Now I jsut wonder, how do I turn it off, so that Fireox sends the prompt whenever I try to close multiple tabs? I'm running 3.6.6 with OS X Snow Leopard.

    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.
    In Firefox 3 you do not get the "Save & Quit" pop-up dialog if you choose Firefox > Preferences > General > Startup: "When Firefox Starts": "Show my windows and tabs from last time".
    To get the "Save & Quit" pop-up dialog you have to select one of the other choices (Show my home page,Show a blank page).

  • Why doesn't Firefox see that I have Flash loaded on my computer?

    I have Flash 10.1.102.64 loaded on my computer and I can watch youtube videos on Windows IE. I just loaded Firefox 3.0.5 and when I try to watch a youtube video, it tells me I need to install Flash. Why doesn't it see Flash? Do I need to do something first?

    Safari>Preferences>Security
    Is "Allow Plugins" checked?
    If it is, follow the illustrated instructions here: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1343084 to do a complete "clean install".
