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. -- War doesn't determine who's right, just who's left. -- Paul B. Gallagher
