[Solved] Firefox keeps asking if I want to save tabs or not

Post by Bas King »

When I close Firefox with some tabs open, I always get the question:
'Do you want Firefox to save your tabs for the next time it starts?'
It has a checkbox 'do not ask next time':

But when I tick it, then select 'quit', it does not work: I am asked again next time.
No matter if I select 'quit' or 'save and quit': it will keep asking me the same over and over and over again?

That's a bug of Firefox which can be easily fixed:
  • Start up Firefox
  • Type in the address bar: about:config
  • Press that Okay, i will be carefull button
  • In the searchbar (not the adress bar!!!) type the following: warnonquit
  • The line you then duoble click on to set it from True to False.
  • Close FF and restart. if you did it right, the warning is gone!

Ah ok, I fixed it now.
Sorry for the doublepost.
It is an annoying bug hitting all fresh installs.
Hope the firefox lads will repair it soon.
