Seems to me, with a new profile and more then one tab open, closing the 
browser gives a popup asking if you are sure. It also has a checkbox to 
stop that behaviour which most of us probably click. I know I do and 
then forget about it.
Should be a setting to turn it back on somewhere. Might have to test 
with a new profile and compare prefs.js with it working and not working.
