I don't know why, but suddenly Firefox has stopped saving my tabs upon exiting; it defaults to the homepage each time, even if multiple tabs were open. In Options, under the General tab, I do have selected the option to show my tabs from last time upon startup. I even tried the about:config that's supposed to force the browser to ask to save tabs upon exit. Neither of these options have worked. What's going on?

I know that Firefox doesn't ask to save tabs. Did you read the entire post? Luckily it seems to have sorted itself out, but I hope it doesn't do this again.

Make sure that you do not use "Clear Recent History" to clear the "Browsing History" when Firefox is closed because that prevails and prevents Firefox from opening tabs from the previous session.
