    Are they going to fix how "Warn when closing multiple tabs" doesn't warn you when you have it enabled, and closing multiple tabs?

    That's strange, it warns me every single time, no problem in versions 2.X and 3.0 and 3.0.1.

    I have this problem as well. I am thinking that it's because I have Tab Mix Plus installed, so I ignored it. Are you by chance have Tab Mix Plus installed too?

    It doesn't warn me for Save and Quit unless I close using the File tab--->Exit.

    If I use either of the window's top corners I simply get a warning saying all my tabs will be closed.

    Ending the process via Task Manager method still backs up my tabs too.

    If you guys have two or more windows open, it won't warn you if you try to close one.

    It will still for me even with multiple FF windows open, as long as I'm closing a FF window with multiple tabs, I will still get the warning for that window.

    No add-ons installed.

    The only time it warns me is if I have 2 multi-tabbed windows open and close either one.

    When I have 1 multi-tabbed window open, it doesn't prompt anything when I close it.

    This is with the warning enabled, and with restore session/save last webpage/save browse/whatever else all disabled.

    I tried it and uninstalled it right away because of that stupid new tab switcher. They should remove that crap. It acts like Opera and I don't like it.

    I always only have one window open and Firefox never warns me.

    Ugh at recently viewed tabs tab switching FF3.1 has. Ever since I've tried it as one of TMP features, I've been staying away from it. I hope they include the option to just have the old tab switching later.
