Save Tabs and Quit does NOT work in FF3

Post by vtnightmare » Tue Jul 15, 2008 2:14 pm

My boss discovered that this feature no longer started working in FF3.

The solution ended up being to delete his local profile and let FF3 recreate it. I need to know if this is a Mozilla/Bugzilla type bug I need to report, or you guys... as I can't ask my 300+ users to delete their local FF profile to get a feature to work :/

Also, deleting the profile meant all the bookmarks and certificates stored are gone too! Granted we can backup prior to removal, and restore afterwards, but I would rather NOT go through that much pain if I can avoid it!

This is a firefox bug. A solution without needing to delete the profile is at http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic ... &p=3838005

Thx DraconPern!

So looking at the solution here, looks like the solution is to:

Type about:config in locationbar and go

scroll to
browser.tabs.warnOnClose
browser.warnOnQuit

Make sure both are true, right click to toggle

Is there a way to deploy these settings via the ADM? So, I could then in turn have all my FF3 users "fixed" centrally...

@DraconPern:

I just realized my question was shaped wrong... The "better" question is:

Using the mozilla.adm , I only see the "browser.tabs.warnOnClose" option available for tweaking. I do NOT see the browser.warnOnQuit available as an option.

Will you be updating the .adm file anytime soon for such an option, or if I tweak it on my end to include the option, will your MSI based deployment pick up on it?

You can edit the mozilla.adm file and add that option. The deployment will pick up the setting.
