1222899 2011-08-13 01:32:00 I accidentally unchecked the "Ask me every time" on the close tabs\quit warning dialog that pops up when one is closing the last Firefox window.

I've trawled through everything including "about:config" but now I can't find anything anywhere on how to get it back.

Does anyone know?

Start - progs etc

If menu bar is not showing, press Alt key.
(Sorry, don't have FF5, dont know if above applies :)).

1222902 2011-08-13 02:19:00 That's what I thought but "Warn me when closing multiple tabs" is already checked Agent_24 (57)
1222903 2011-08-13 06:58:00 about:config
browser.tabs.warnOnClose;false
Change false to true

1222904 2011-08-13 07:34:00 Well that's what I thought would be it but it makes no sense since that's already set to true.

Just tried toggling it (twice) - quitting between both tries - made no difference

1222905 2011-08-13 08:23:00 If I set it to true on mine & then try to close firefox with more than one tab open, it brings up the warning Phil B (648)
1222906 2011-08-13 09:40:00 Must be something wrong with mine then.... :( Agent_24 (57)
1222907 2011-08-13 10:22:00 I just had to re-install FF5 on my sons laptop. He had Bearshare on it. What a nightmare to get rid of all the rubbish it leaves here there & everywhere. We use Xmarks for the bookmarks, makes it easy. All good now Phil B (648)
1222908 2011-08-13 10:25:00 I just reinstalled mine too. And deleted the profile (due to some other funny stuff as well)

All working now, hope it stays that way. Might be some kind of Ubuntu 11.04 bug - haven't had anything weird with Firefox 5 on Windows so far...
