Type about:config<enter> in the address bar. If a warning screen comes up, press the Be Careful button. At the top of the screen is a search bar. Type browser.tabs.warnOnClose What's the value? If it's false, double click it to set it to true (that's the default value, btw).

Do you have any add-ons installed? Does it work normally on a new profile? https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles

Could you please retest this using the latest Nightly build and report back the results? (You can download the latest Nightly build from here https://goo.gl/57dpxn) When doing this, please use a new clean Firefox profile, as mentioned in comment 3. Thanks.

Bug 1199055 - reporter doesn't follow up. It ends up duped to bug 502908. This - reporter says browser.tabs.warnOnClose = true, meaning bug 502908 can't be the issue. Doesn't follow up. Bug 1454189 - reporter files yet another duplicate.
(In reply to illumilor.e from comment #4) > It happens with no addons and in a new profile after I switch warnonclose to > true @illumilor on any Firefox new profiles the "browser.tabs.warnOnClose" pref is set to "true" by default and the warning is displayed if you close the browser when you have multiple tabs opened. From your comment I understand that on your new Firefox profile, the "browser.tabs.warnOnClose" pref was set to "false" by default and after you change it to "true" the warning was no longer displayed. Is this correct? However, only when you change the pref to "false", the warning is no longer displayed. Can you also please provide the values for the below prefs? - browser.showQuitWarning - browser.warnOnQuit - browser.tabs.warnOnClose - browser.tabs.warnOnCloseOtherTabs

I should said that it still closes even after warnonclose is set to true. That setting doesn't seem to change any behaviour when hitting ctrl+q quitwarning=false warnonquit=true warnonclose=true othertabs=true

Thanks for your reply! By default the "browser.showQuitWarning" pref is set to "false" which means that if you have multiple tabs opened and you close Firefox no warning is displayed. However, after starting Firefox you have the "Restore Previous Session" option available and all the tabs can be restored. In order to receive the warning when closing Firefox (Ctrl + Q), you should change the "browser.showQuitWarning" pref to "true". @illumilor.e can you please change the pref to true and see if you get the warning? The "browser.tabs.warnOnClose" pref is set to "true" by default which means that if you have multiple tabs opened and you close the Firefox window by clicking the "X" button, you get a warning. So this pref doesn't cover the exit Firefox (Ctrl + Q) functionality.

With browser.showQuitWarning set to true ctrl+q still does not show a confirmation/warning before quitting firefox.

Thanks for testing this! It seems that this issue is a similar to bug 502908. Considering this I will close this as dupe of it.
