[Bug 583797] Re: "Warn on closing with multiple tabs open" not honored

[Christopher M. Penalver]

Importance Low due to easy workaround -> keyconfig.

** Description changed:

  Release:	11.10

  3) What is expected to happen in Firefox, with Edit -> Preferences -> Tabs -> "Warn on closing with multiple tabs open" checkbox checked, is when one click the X, File -> Quit, Ctrl+Q , or Alt+Space -> C, one get's the confirmation box:
  Confirm close
  You are about to close x tabs. Are you sure you want to continue?
  
  4) What happens instead is one is not warned and the window closes.
  
  PARTIAL WORKAROUND: about:config -> browser.tabs.maxOpenBeforeWarn ->
  change from 15 to 2. This will pop up the confirmation box clicking the
  X and Alt+Space -> C only.
+ 
+ WORKAROUND: Disable Ctrl+Q quiting the browser by installing keyconfig add-on:
+ http://mozilla.dorando.at/keyconfig.xpi
+ 
+ Then Tools -> Add-Ons -> Extensions -> keyconfig Preferences ->
+ highlight Quit -> Disable
  
  Original Reporter Comments: I found a "workaround" that says to set
  "open to a blank page" somewhere else, and I set this, but it still
  doesn't warn me.
  
  I work from home and frequently spend an hour or so putting in data, all
  on one screen. If I accidentally hit the stupid little x (which is now
  in the left hand corner just where you don't need it, it is too easy to
  hit it by accident, but i can't change this, it comes with the distro),
  i lose all that work.
  
  Please tell me how to fix this terrible bug.

  THIS BUG AFFECTS MY SECURITY (INCOME) but i guess would not be classifed
  as a security bug per se
