Well, I actually wonder whether it's really the same bug as it was 4 years ago. You yourself have said that version 3.6.28 is not affected. Most of the above comments are well out-of-date, written before Firefox started automatically remembering people's sessions, for example. And the workarounds don't work.
Would we be more likely to get a fix if we closed this bug and opened a new one with only the latest information?
At the very least, I propose changing this bug's summary from ...
Warning if closing multiple tabs is not working (READ COMMENT #142)
... to ...
'Warn me when closing multiple tabs' doesn't work for Ctrl-Q or File > Quit.
What does everyone think about that? N.B. I do not seem to have permission to change the summary, so if there is consensus, please can someone who does have permission change it? (Lucas?)
