Firefox bug?

Post by crazyaxe »

Hello,
I can't rid of this window every time I close Firefox:

I checked the checkbox many times, without success. :cry:
Do you have any suggestion?
(I'm using Linux mint 17)

Open a new tab and enter "about:config" (without quotes) in the address field. In cases this is your first time accessing the config page, confirm that you will be careful. Now search for the following string:

Code: Select all

browser.showQuitWarning
If it is there, change the value from "true" to "false". If it isn't there, do a right click to get the context menue, choose New - Boolean, enter the Preference Name "browser.showQuitWarning" (without quotes) and set the value to false. The Preference Name is case sensitive. Please enter it exactly as it is spelled in the "Code" box above.

If I can just add to the above post, not sure about the latest version of firefox as my config just carries across when upgraded, but I found that if I changed just the one option then the messages still appeared, I would suggest all 4 of these

Code: Select all

About:config

browser.tabs.warnOnClose = false

browser.tabs.warnOnCloseOtherTabs = false

browser.WarnonQuit = False

browser.ShowQuitWarning = False
