There is a key "browser.warnOnQuit" (default boolean true on my 
machine), but AFAICT it has no effect -- I can't remember the last time 
I've been warned on closing the browser. I just tried several ways -- 
Ctrl-W, clicking the "X" at top right, etc. -- and none of them yielded 
a prompt.

I do get prompted if I try to close the browser with more than one tab 
open, as Dave Yeo says.
