I use private windows for a lot of "throwaway" browsing like ebay rabbitholes and stuff that I don't want cluttering up my history.

Unfortunately I've hit Ctrl+Shift+W by accident a few too many times which instantly closes the entire window, without any warning. I suppose this is a handy "boss key" for some people...

Any chance we could have a setting to warn when closing multiple tabs on a Private Window?

came from google in need for this function

as a workaround i'm using Tab Session Manager with checked option to save secret windows (at least they are not saved in firefox history)

Please just give us an "browser.tabs.warnOnClosePrivate" about:config option or something. I use Private Windows a lot for temporary cache and cookies. Tempted to just finally get around switching over to Vivaldi for this.

Thanks for all the feedback. We're looking into this.

I'd really like this added as well. Just the OPTION to enable the warning would be nice. It can even be off by default, so it doesn't bother people who are used to it not warning!
