This one makes me crazy. I'm running Firefox 40.0.3 on Linux Mint 17 on a Dell Latitude I5 lap top. If I have more than one tab open and try to close it, I get a message:

Do you want Firefox to save your tabs for the next time it opens?

I click on "Do not ask next time" and "Quit". It doesn't save that preference.

So I did some research, went to about:config, and changed the following settings to false:

browser.tabs.closeWindowWithLastTab;false browser.tabs.warnOnClose;false browser.tabs.warnOnCloseOtherTabs;false browser.tabs.warnOnOpen;false

but that message still comes up. Is this a bug or a feature? How do I get that preference to remain?

Thanks in advance.

If browser.showQuitWarning is true then you will get this warning message. You need to toggle the pref to false with a double-click to disable this warning.

have you changed this : "browser.showQuitWarning" from false to true in about:config window ? do it and then when it ask when you trying to close your browser then check on "don't ask from next time " and press on "quit " button.

Chandan: thanks for your quick response. Unfortunately, about:config shows:

browser.showQuitWarning;true

already and checking on "do not ask next time" does nothing.

Is there another suggestion?
