I am an adult IT professional. Please DO NOT assume that it is your job to protect me from myself. That is why Vista was such a disaster. If I accidentally close a tab that should not have been, well, so what?

Mozilla decided to protect us all because one user wanted protection from himself.
Close Other Tabs is unintuitive and dangerous. It doesn't belong in the context
menu for a tab, or anywhere else for that matter. The time saved by the menu
option is in my experience not worth the frustration caused by hitting it
accidentally all the time.
277079 – "Close other tabs" should always warn about closing multiple tabs
If you enter about:config in the Navigation bar, click the warning, search for 'browser.tabs.warnOnCloseOtherTabs', toggle it to false, you won't get the pop-up anymore.
