   There is a key "browser.warnOnQuit" (default boolean true on my   
   machine), but AFAICT it has no effect -- I can't remember the last time   
   I've been warned on closing the browser. I just tried several ways --   
   Ctrl-W, clicking the "X" at top right, etc. -- and none of them yielded   
   a prompt.   
      
   I do get prompted if I try to close the browser with more than one tab   
   open, as Dave Yeo says.
