How to enable the warning to save tabs while closing firefox ? It is not asking me now because I checked the check box accidentally. How to get that warning message back ?

You can reset the warn prefs on the about:config page via the right-click context menu.

For saving the tabs you need to set true the browser.showQuitWarning:true in 

about:config.

For prompting that "you are about to close 5 tabs , r u sure" use "browser.warnOnQuit;true"
