Firefox doesn't warn me when I close multiple tabs.

Warn on close Firefox.
Closing tabs on Firefox.
I've noticed that various distros have Firefox set to "warn on close" or "not warn on close" and that the whole option in "tools" is gone so I did some searching and found this answer at "Firefox Help". I provide the link below.
There are people who WANT warn on close and there are also those do do NOT, and here is the method to meet both situations.
**************** begin
One change in Firefox 4 is to by default stop Firefox displaying the warning message, but it can be turned back on by changing some preferences.
1. Type about:config into the location bar and press enter
2. Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
3. Locate the preference browser.tabs.warnOnClose, if its value is set to false, double-click on it to change its value to true
4. Repeat this for these 3 preferences browser.warnOnQuit, browser.warnOnRestart and browser.showQuitWarning
*******************end
woodsmoke's comments:
a) The "location bar" is the big open bar at the top of the browser that shows "urls" and such. It is not the little "search box" to the top right.
b) I would recommend that one make a new tab or a new window to do the "about:config" so that one can go back and forth to get all of the items accomplished.
c) The method does, indeed, work.
