Re: Confirm exit
Old standby, but you seem to have tried all the things that would be obvious here.
1) What happens if you test for the prompt with TabUtilities disabled?
2) What happens if you test for the prompt with all your extensions disabled? (Do not use Firefox safe mode as, I believe, this also temporarily defaults all your user prefs.)
3) What happens if you test for the prompts when exiting from running Firefox in 'Firefox Safe Mode'? Do not tick/check any of the boxes on the first 'safe mode' dialogue. Just click on the 'Continue in Safe Mode' button and then open your tabs/windows to test what happens when you close.

Re: Confirm exit
i know this reviving an old thread but I came across this problem as well recently and found a solution.
It does seem, after reading through this thread, that many people misunderstood what the OP was trying to resolve and he simply wanted to unclick the "do not ask next time" and/or reset his preferences to default so it would ask him again, "do not ask next time" so he would make sure not to check it/leave it unchecked.
In any case, the resolution I found for this in case anyone else like me or the OP comes across this problem is to do this: Go to Tools, Options, and in the General section. In the Startup sub-section, make sure "When Firefox Starts" selection is set to anything other than "show my windows and tabs from last time" as this essentially is a extensive version of clicking "do not ask next time" whether to save tabs or not (as that selection would accomplish that automatically).
I am using Firefox 5 so I do not know if this applies in previous versions (and i'm under the impression that the "save tabs" option only came out in version 4).
Hope this helps those who are looking for an answer!
