Comment 67 for bug 230102

You have explained why "it" is not broken, but it is your "it" that you have explained and not those of the people often telling you correctly that the "the functionality is broken" (the functionality that they had in 2 that is and desire again).

I too want the browser to warn me when I close multiple tabs. I do not want to answer a dialogue box at all that gives me a dangerous and unnecessary option (unnecessary at that point for sure - options can be dealt with in options when I have specifically chosen to deal with options and am not rushing - I have in haste sometimes made a mistake and will again. To close mistakenly with many tabs open - very irritating. To close mistakenly with many tabs open that cannot be reopened automatically because I chose the wrong option of close confirmation dialogue - absolutely infuriating. Doubly more so having heard the developers response or rather multiple inappropriate responses). In 2 as the only option I had was to close browser or not - if I mistakenly chose - there was no harm done - I close again and confirm correctly.

I also want the browser to reopen multiple tags.

Why can I not have this behavior as an option as in Firefox 3 as was in 2? Is it a technical hurdle that cannot be overcome? This looks to me like an arbitrary blocking of choice to me? Am I missing something or is it you Gavin? You must use your browser differently to me and many many others you seem not to be hearing correctly.

Quite how you as a programmer defend the logical inconsistencies between options chosen and behavior displayed in itself baffle me (and others) greatly.
