Quit warning ("do you want minefield to save your tabs") or window closing warning ("you're about to close N tabs...")?

> 3. press ctr+q, see firefox quit without warning

With browser.showQuitWarning == true, I see the quit dialog. With showQuitWarning == false, I see expected behavior (window closing warning @ step 2, and no dialog at step 3)

Ok, here's the state of my relevant about:config variables:

browser.showQuitWarning = false
browser.warnOnQuit = true
browser.tabs.warnOnClose = true

Therefore, when I attempt to close a window with multiple tabs, I get a warning about closing multiple tabs.  I would expect a similar warning when performing an action (unintentionally every time, I might add) that will close every window I have open.  Furthermore, I'm not interested in seeing a dialog asking me about saving my tabs.  Is this futile?

Um I think then the question reduces to whether browser.showQuitWarning should be to true by default or not. I vote for true by default. Too many times I've closed Firefox accidentally while trying to press Ctrl+W.

I have browser.showQuitWarning = true, browser.warnOnQuit = true, and yet ctrl+q makes Firefox close without warning.

Come to think of it, I think I checked "don't ask again" on the quit dialog a long time ago, when Firefox didn't save open tabs by default and I didn't want to accidentally quick without saving tabs, and now I'm stuck with no quit warning.

Really, this should come back. W and Q are next to each other and we lost all the current data if we press accidentally Q if we have multiple tabs are open.

Again, Firefox can show a warning and a checkbox "do not show it again" to prevent annoying confirmations if needed, but everyone will need it i am pretty sure.

ctrl-q as default for "close everything without confirmation" is poor usability. ctrl-q is too easy to mispress; it's right between ctrl-w and ctrl-tab, both of which are well used shortcuts.

Suggest either:

1) Firefox should warn when quitting with ctrl-q

or 

2) The quit hotkey should be changed from ctrl-q to ctrl-shift-q as in other browsers.
