Mind reading is difficult, so lets call it reverse engineering :)

The problem stated in comment 169 stems from a confusion that, without approval, I will explain it this way:

When confirmation popup window appears, we have three choices of
"Save and Quit" "Quit" "Cancel"

Now both "Quit" and "Cancel" are straight forward; but what should Firefox do with the "Save and Quit"?
The answer is that it currently "Saves the tabs and Quits" but then it violates the setting of "Show my home page" on the next start up by starting all the tabs that it has saved.

Had the designers thought this through; there is a need for another popup window, this time on start up, that would give users two choices:
"Start with default setting" "Start with saved tabs"
(default setting being "my home page" or "a blank page")

If my explanation is anything close to reality; then it is not hard to understand why the designers thought it useless to ask for confirmation in comment 169. Next round starts as it was closed; hence why ask any questions.
And, I do not agree because some tabs may be logged sessions, like this one. :)
