    I gave an overly generous 3 stars because I didn't want to bring the review rating way down. There simply is not any help available to help a user make this add-on work. I am not seeing "Leave Page" prompts on any pages or tabs. Also, I don't see any "Activate Protection" options. (Yes, I did go to "About:ConFig" and my settings are correct) I'm using FireFox, ver 67. I'm really grateful that jsher2000 is developing this add-on. It will be extremely useful and appreciated by people like me whom too often accidentally close a webpage. BTW, I didn't just inadvertently stumble upon this add-on, I searched for it because I was hoping such an add-on existed.

    Hi, thank you for the comments.

    Are you getting the green Keep Open page in any window? Usually at startup it appears in one window (sometimes twice for me; I restore my previous session, if that is relevant), and then if you launch a private window it should appear there. Note that in Firefox 67+, you now need to give each individual extension permission to run in private windows.

    UPDATE: I added a toolbar button to version 0.6 so you can open the green Keep Open page manually if it doesn't open automatically.
