> A new global setting has been created that allows you to always hide the “Close All Tabs” confirmation dialog. You can set "confirmCloseAllTabs" to true at the top of your profiles.json file and you’ll never see that popup again!

Did they just phrase this backwards or is that the total opposite of what you'd expect?

Sounds right to me. "I confirm that I always want to close all tabs."

I am glad I scrolled this far. I too had the same question in my mind and thought the config variable was confusing. But the way you phrased it made it clear. I originally read it as “show confirm-close-all-tabs dialog box”.

I have rarely if ever ”confirmed” something in a config file.

confirmFontSize = 12

?

Naming things is hard :)
