Don’t warn me before closing multiple tabs in Firefox 12
If you are like me, when you are surfing the internet, you probably have about 6 or 7 tabs open at the top of your browser screen viewing 6 0r 7 different website URL’s. Then….I want to exit out of Firefox and have to tell my workstation don’t warn me before closing multiple tabs by clicking the dialog box that comes up.
I know there are some that say that they really like this precautionary measure about closing multiple tabs. Personally, I don’t like seeing the multiple tabs warning. I do love having the multiple tabs at the top though AND I have three monitors to boot using the Matrox Triple Head2go device (which by the way is easy to setup and GREAT). Can you say multi-tasking. You are probably saying, what geek is not like this…ha. Read More…

Let’s see how you block popups in the new Firefox Internet browser 12.
