當關閉多個製表符作為警告不工作時, Firefox 3不提示也不警告證實

在升級從Firefox 2和安裝以後 Firefox 3許多用戶也許注意Firefox 3在關上或退出Firefox窗口之前不再提示或警告用戶與在窗口打開的多個製表符。 警告,當關閉多個製表符不運作`錯誤』儘管那發生「時警告我,當關閉的多個製表符」選擇在Firefox的製表符部分3特選被檢查了并且使能時。

與「警告我,當關閉選擇的多個製表符」選擇,應該的Firefox突然出現題為的對話箱「證實緊密」要求「時您將關閉x開放製表符。 您是否是肯定的想要繼續?」,如被實踐在例證2如下所示的Firefox。 在Firefox 3,這不是實際情形,并且Firefox關閉并且放棄,不用警告和確認甚而與超過一開放製表符,甚而以「被設置的browser.warnOnQuit」特選配齊。

證實接近的倍數開放製表符在Firefox

然而,這新的行為看似不去被分類作為臭蟲,根據從各種各樣的開發商的回復在Bugzilla@Mozilla (參見臭蟲 422040, 434961419009) . 實際上,它是新的故意變動,以便,如果選擇「展示我的窗口和製表符在下再開始配置Firefox使能會議恢復從上次」起始的選擇(browser.startup.page寧可是相等的到3), Firefox的地方將自動地再開并且恢復所有被打開的製表符, Firefox不警告也不提示對於確認,當用戶關上一個Firefox會議的一個Firefox窗口與仅唯一窗口與多個製表符或放棄了Firefox應用與被打開時的多個Firefox窗口和製表符,只要Firefox視為這些製表符和窗口可以由Firefox自動地保存和再開下開始。

簡而言之,當前FF3行為在closing窗口與製表符是用戶每次不再被警告,當放棄Firefox,但警告時或者證實接近的對話只將被提示,如果不可能恢復窗口或製表符。

沒有確認特點的出口也許是好的為某些人,但不是所有的人將愛,在瀏覽器窗口傾向於偶然地點擊接近的(x)按鈕特別是的用戶,并且,當有十時,如果不數百製表符在窗口開始。 時間Firefox要求再再開所有那些製表符的正義圖像。

The workaround to set Firefox to warn or ask for confirmation before closing window with multiple open tabs, or quit Firefox application, is to disable session restore by setting Firefox to start up with home page or blank page. To do so, click on Tools menu and then Options. In the Main tab Startup section, select Show my home page or Show a blank page for “When Firefox starts” option (Note that “Show my windows and tabs from last time” means session restore, which mean you won’t get any close tabs confirm warning).

After configuring Firefox to load homepage or blank page on startup, Firefox will prompt a “Quit Firefox” titled dialog box, saying “Do you want Firefox to save your tabs for the next time it starts?”. User can select “Save and Quit” to override “When Firefox starts” setting in order to save and restore and reopen all opened tabs that are been closed on next Firefox session, “Quit” to start afresh on home page or blank page (depending on setting above), or “Cancel” to cancel the exit operating and stay in current window.

Quit Firefox Confirmation Dialog

Note: If “Do not ask next time” is selected, clicking “Save and Quit” will set the “When Firefox starts” to “Show my windows and tabs from last time” (browser.startup.page = 3) automatically, while clicking “Quit” will uncheck the “Warn me when closing multiple tabs” option (browser.tabs.warnOnClose = false) in “Tabs” preference tab, which must be selected and ticked if you want any warning or confirmation dialog. So in order to always continuously receive a “Save and Quit” dialog, ensure that you never select or tick the check box for “Do not ask next time”.

The new “Quit Firefox” dialog in Firefox 3 no longer show the number of tabs opened as in the old dialog box from Firefox 2. In order to receive the “Confirm Close” dialog box as everybody familiar with in Firefox 2 as shown in figure on top of this article, the working workaround is to launch and open more than one (can be 2, 3 or more) windows of Firefox. Then close the window with multiple tabs (not exit Firefox application though which closes all windows), and the usual “You’re about to close x open tabs. Are you sure want to continue?” dialog will pop up with “Close tabs” or “Cancel” buttons. Make sure that “Warn me when I attempt to close multiple tabs” is always checked.

The ‘feature’ affects Firefox 3 in all operating systems, including Windows, Mac OS X and Linux.

    [...] Beside, if user set the “When Firefox starts” preference under Tools -> Options to “Show my windows and tabs from last time”, the Firefox 3 will auto save tabs on close too without prompting user to choose a selection of action choices. This is significantly different from Firefox 2, where the change is explained on article about missing or not working warning when closing multiple tabs. [...]

    Hello,
    Having found the information very useful I still have been unable to find an answer to what I was looking. I hope you are able to help, closing and saving multiple aside I sorely miss the ‘restore session’ and ’start new session’ dialog box. Many times i have tabs saved from work or so which I hope to view later, but sometimes I don’t get to it and it gets redundant by the next day. the ’start new session’ is certainly messed, would you know anyway I can restore that dialog box in firefox 3?

    It’s a feature in Firefox that automatically shown when Firefox crashes or closes unexpectedly. If you just want to ’session restore’, go to Preference and select Show tabs and windows from last session (read article above too).

    This suggestion does not work and I am very pissed. The decision to remove this as a feature on Firefox 3 was thoroughly stupid. Whoever would not like to be notified of multiple tab closing could just check the darn “Do not ask me again” box. Somebody, please hit the lamer(s) who helped make our lives more stressful by authorizing this change.

    as i use tab mix plus which makes uing LOTS of tab very comfortable
    i REALLY miss the confirmation dialog because sometimes i close 100+ tabs and it takes ages to reload them
    but i must admit that ff3 reloads even such big ammount pretty quickly compared to ff2 with fasterfox!

    the accidental closing sometime happens when you have the ff3 window maximized and another which is about maximum but not really maximized
    when you just put your mouse in the upper right corner and klick yo actually hit the x of the window behind which sometimes is firefox…
    would be nice to have that option again
    aa extension for this schould be pissible?

    In about:config, try setting browser.tabs.warnOnClose = true. This seems to have done the trick for me.

    I already had my “browser.tabs.warnOnClose” set on True. Nevertheless, I double clicked it to set it to false and then double clicked it to set it to true again. AND YES IT DID WORK!!! Thank you. I hope it continues to work without me having to do this same thing again. Damn computer logic! They don’t even follow their own rules as specified in their configuration files.

    I love both Linux and OSS…
    But this looks like the last crap’n s**t developer’s choice.
    No way to consider that as a feature, since just today I closed three times my Firefox session because of a simple keyboard mistake (look how close are the W and Q keys).

    Sad, once again, sad.
