Description Y.LE_NY 2011-03-20 16:07:06 CET
Description of problem:
The "Save Tabs?" does not appear when quitting Firefox 4.0.x

The following URL http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/780601#answer-133882
said that : 
"The prefs for Save & Quit the warning message have been set by default to false in current Firefox 4 beta versions (Bug 592822 - Remove quit warning dialog)."

Then can you change the Firefox's browser.showQuitWarning parameter from false to true ?
I think it will be useful for a lot of users. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
$ rpm -qa firefox
firefox-4.0-0.rc2.1.mga1

Comment 1 Ahmad Samir 2011-03-21 17:33:05 CET
Agreed.
- Without that dialogue users may be confused whether the session was saved or not
- Upstream offers a "restore previous session" button in the about:home page (the default upstream home page); since the default home page in Mageia redirects to Mageia.org the situation is much worse without that pref set to true as that button won't be visible on first look for users (it exists in the History menu, which is not exactly the first place users will look).

Fixed in SVN.
