Currently running Mint 13 x64. Ever since Firefox 16 I get the horribly annoying are you stupid screen every time I close Firefox. Yes I am absolutely sure I want to close my browser with as many tabs open as I please! Why does Mozilla feel the need to control me? Do you think all your users are morons?

Nothing fixes this! And I will slap the next person that says go to about:config to fix it! NO THAT SHIT DON"T WORK EITHER!

Seriously today this needs to be solved or I leave to Chrome or Opera. I cannot fathom how this "bug" as you so eloquently call it has not been FIXED? Does any Dev's workin for Mozilla ever check the forums? Do you see how many threads this crap has generated? Have you bothered to do a Google search? Check Twitter? Its a big problem and everyone is pissed.

If you guys don't get your shit together, its a clear sign to abandon this sinking ship.

Why do you ignore your users? Without US there is no YOU.

The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. Note: This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.

To Reset Firefox do the following:

  1. Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
  2. Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
  3. Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
  4. Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.


Further information can be found in the Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings article.

Nope still there. I have been a solid Firefox user since version 1. This issue is beyond annoying and for the past 3 versions it has been there, constantly telling me I do not know how use my browser. In the processes of setting up Chromium now.

I full-heartedly believe Mozilla no longer cares about their users.

And you've gone into the Options > Tabs >uncheck "warn me when closing multiple tabs"? Because that option is there and works for everyone.

Have you read How to fix preferences that won't save
