Get the OK and Cancel buttons switched in Firefox


This is probably a quick fix, Whenever, say I exit with more than two tabs open, and it gives me a dialog box with a cancel button and a confirm button. Fine except its in the order [Cancel, Confirm]

I'm used to it being [Confirm, Cancel] from Windows, is there a way to put it in that order?

Thanks,
David

Type in the URL in Firefox:

about:config

After hitting "Enter" there will be a long list of objects that are configurable in Firefox, to change a value from "true" to "false" or the other way around, right click on the line and select toggle. To change a numbered value, right click and select "modify".
If there would be a way to modify that, it would be somewhere in this list.

Only other possibility in my eyes: recompiling from the sources,
but I think getting comfortable with that "bug" is much less work...

There's bound to be an extension that does what you want. Have you checked?

I agree, lol if that is the only way, I'll live with it. If there is an extension I sure can't find it (I'm no good with search engines)

I looked all through about:config and I couldn't find any obvious properties.
