"Close Other Tabs" "bug"
[from: http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=69338] Ugh!!!, fricken, it just happened to me *again* writing this damn post!!! ARGH!!!! ok, now i'm rewriting this post for the exact reason i'm posting. the singular most frustrating and repeated experience i have with firefox/mozilla is accidentally selecting the "Close Other Tabs" when i intended to select "Close Tab". i would like a confirmation dialog to appear just as it does when i attempt to close a browser window with multiple tabs. i've searched many posts on the forums and have yet to find a thread that specifically addresses this "bug". i have found that this issue has been discussed amongst developers in the threads attached to bugs 103354 [http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=103354#c0] and 191578 [http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=191578#c0]. i'm posting this because i'd like a more general population of mozilla users to specifically dialog about this issue. also, please vote in the "Close Other Tabs" "bug" poll at http://polls.digitalrelief.org/closeothertabs_pollhost.html ciao, david

And I would not: If I say "Close other tabs" I would like to close
other tabs.
The obvious solution is to have a user-settable preference in
pref.js. It's _so_ obvious that I doubt it will even happen. -)

I remember seeing more than one. I made the same comment last time
this came up.

Of course there is a "don't prompt me again" checkbox for those that don't want to see a confirmation. The dialog works just the same way as the one when you go to close the browser when multiple tabs are open. I was about to submit it as a fix (may have made it into 1.7a) but someone else submitted something similar (but possibly more complicated), and all it appeared to do was trigger a highly emotive debate. Give me a couple of days (the w/e) and I'll submit it... and instructions on how to patch your own installation (assuming you won't wait for 1.8 ;-) ) More soon...

IF there were a 'are you sure' dialog, they would want a 'are you really sure' and an 'are you really, really, really, sure' dialog. At some point, the software just HAS to let the user take responsibility for his own actions, correct or incorrect.

Hear, hear! I tend to be bad at hand-eye co-ordination, and catch
the wrong spot with my mouse about one time in five. Still I lose
less time than if I had stupid confirmation dialogs for everything.
I like the idea you mentioned earlier, of a confirmation dialog with
a check box for "Don't ask me again". That seems like good usability
engineering. I wouldn't mind a one-time dialog.

You can increase the size of the font in the drop down menus. That will decrease your chances of choosing the wrong one. JM

suggestion: "Close Tabs to the Left", "Close Tabs to the Right"
I would find it useful if in addition to the "Close Other Tabs" command, there were a way to "Close Tabs to the Left" and "Close Tabs to the Right" when you right-click on a particular tab. Particularly when I've exhausted a train of thought that might consist of a number of tabs, it'd be nice to be able to just close all tabs to the right of the last tab before that train of thought. This may be peculiar to the way I abuse tabs but I'm just throwing it out there in case I'm not alone. ...
When is "close" not really "close"
I've had a strange thing occur a couple of times. When I leave at night, I leave my computer on, but close Thunderbird. That way, I can VPN in from home and view the mail store, but still access e-mail through POP3. One night, a week or so ago, I checked POP3 from home and noticed the mailbox was empty. That's impossible; I get about 500 messages a day. So, I took control of my desktop session and looked around. Thunderbird was not visible, but it was still running in the background.
