Download now! Microsoft Store now allows Chromium and Gecko rendering engines The Firefox browser has been designed to bring you a more modern and calmer web experience on-the-go. The extra button is less problematic.Additionally, one user told us that Firefox’s Microsoft Store product page briefly appeared on Google and Bing search results with the following meta description: If set to true closing Firefox will close all Firefox windows, like my userChromeJS above mentioned, but IMO defaulting Firefox exit to exiting all opened Firefox windows is not a wise idea. There is a lesser known about:config pref which allows to consider all opened Firefox windows when closing Firefox : // Default=false Which is why I’ve added an ‘Exit Firefox’ button (userChromeJS crafted) next to Firefox’s Buttonbox which closes *all* Firefox opened Windows (‘EX’, as well as ‘RS’ to Restart (also a userChromeJS), and Clock (extension manipulated with CSS) on the left as viewable here.
What does bother me is that if I have several Firefox windows opened, closing Firefox only closes the current Firefox window, good and normal except that other windows include those such as Library (which is still not displayed in a tab), Page Info etc … and that I more than once had only one Firefox GUI opened but as well Library, Page Info, and that closing the Firefox GUI didn’t close the latter, which meant Firefow was still opened. Regarding CTRL+SHIFT+Q, I read many complaints about this but given I’m a mouse aficionado rather than a keyboard fan, it doesn’t bother me. The risk of accidental closure is higher in this context since the quit shortcut (?+Q) is adjacent to the switch-application shortcut (?+Tab). The only instance in which a close modal is on by default is for two-key quit shortcuts on macOS and Linux.
The close actions in these particular contexts were likely intentional and so the messages provided unnecessary and perhaps unwelcome friction.įirefox 94 and newer displays a close confirmation prompt only on Mac and Linux devices, if the two key shortcut is used, because the risk of accidental closure is higher, according to Mozilla. Starting in Firefox version 94, Firefox no longer warns you by default when you exit the browser or close a window using a menu, button, or three-key command.
According to the organization, close actions in the contexts mentioned are "likely intentional", and that the prompt is "unnecessary" and may provide "unwelcome friction". Mozilla reveals why it decided to change the closing prompt from Firefox on a support page.
