Greetings to the forum.
Unfortunately, I can't get the "Warn me when closing multiple tabs" option to work in Firefox 3.0. I opened two tabs for testing and tried both start options of "show my home page" and "show my windows and tabs from last time" with the same result: closing Firefvox does not produce a warning that I am closing multiple tabs. Can someone please help?
Thank you.

In the Firefox 3 menus, go to 'Tools' - 'Options' and on the 'Tabs' tab of the dialog, check to see if the 'Warn of closing...' is checked. It works for me.
Good suggestion. I did check this option, and the checkbox is in fact checked.

I am also experiencing the problem with this option. It worked -- more or less randomly -- when I was trying a different theme (don't remember which), but won't work on the default, or any themes I've tried. And the box is checked...

doesn´t work in both local and portable FF, could be a bug ..

After lots and lots of experimentation, here's what I have been able to determine.
If I have several tabs set, and if I open them in the same window, I do not get the warning that I am closing "X" tabs when I try to shut down Firefox. However, if I have opened tabs in more than one window, the "Warn me when closing multiple tabs" works as expected. Can anyone corroborate these findings? I have checked the options under "about:config," and they all appear to be set so that a warning should be issued whenever Firevox is closed. I have Firefox starting up on the home pages I have set; that is, it does not start up remembering the tabs and windows from a previous session.

Just wanted to add my "me too" to this. Default theme, and checkbox checked.
Hoped the problem would go away when upgrading from 3.0 to 3.0.1, but it didn't.
The point is though is that it does the same thing even if you have the Session Restore/Undo Close Tab Feature turned off which means that it isn't able to open back up the same tabs. The only way you get the warning about closing multiple tabs is if you try to close a window with multiple open tabs when you have more than 1 window open. This is for both FFP3 and FF3.
im havng the same proglem now.. anyone can help ???
It seems more or less random whether it will ask me to save session when closing multiple tabs, regardless of how many I have open. I just installed a session save add-on but I wouldn't use this feature for the portable version anyway.
