Hi, I how I regret updating! (to 32.0.3) Where has my "Save & quit" (on closure) option gone???

I have followed all the advice on forums to retrieve this function,.... but to no avail. 

Yes, I can get the warning that I'm closing multiple tabs. (Thanks for telling me what I know,  instead of offering something useful!)

To be specific in about:config.........browser.showQuitWarning is true 

                                                         browser.warnonquit is true
                                                         browser.tabs.warnonclose is true

And in Tools/Options/General/Startup "Show my windows & Tabs from last time is selected"

What am I supposed to do?

If I revert to last version will the OPTION (to save a session OR let it lapse) ie "SAVE & QUIT" restore? I must stop future updates

You won't get the warning as long as "Show my windows and tabs from last time" is selected as that will restore open tabs automatically, so you won't lose them. To get that warning you will have to select one of the other startup settings (home page or blank tab).

Yes thanks. It had been set that way, and had not worked! But perhaps one of the about:config parameters were set otherwise at that time. Thanks again.
