I used to be able to exit Firefox without closing all of the tabs that I was using. Now, every time I exit the program, I get a warning that all of the tabs will close. When did things change? Can I get back to leaving all of the tabs open when I exit so they load when I open the program again?

Is there a setting that I'm missing?

Thank you.
