careless_monkey Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 How do I make firefox to ask me a confirmation to Quit the app when I press CMND + Q. Sometimes I mistakenly press CMND + Q when I actually want to press CMND + W and thus loose all the youtube video lectures that I have saved. Is there a way for firefox to ask me first whether I really want to quit ? I tried looking in the preferences but no real help. TIA :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allannyholm Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 Have you turned on the "Open windows and tabs that were open before quitting"(I can't remember if that's the right wording) in the General preferences? I think if you turn that off then Firefox will tell you that you have open tabs and "Do you want to save these tabs" - I think that is the only way of having some sort of dialog box from Firefox upon quit.

farmeunit Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 It should ask you if you want to Quit/Save Quit/Cancel if you go to File->Exit instead of using the "X" to close. Have you tried that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you tried that? Yes I used to get that option before, but I changed it to 'never ask me again when I quit' and thus it doesn't ask me. Is there a way to get those options back?

farmeunit Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 Maybe Tools->Options->Tabs->Warm me when closing multiple tabs? Maybe this link will help also: http://www.mydigital...ng-not-working/ EDIT: Sorry you posted back while I was writing post. Glad you got it working.
