Please add an option to close tabs on exit. If we're security-conscious it seems like that's a no-brainer. Thank you

When the browser is closed, everything is closed.

Please explain the problem in detail. What happens? What is/are the exact error message(s) ?

You need to logout and close tabs to ensure that your session ID is invalidated on the server properly as closing tabs would no be sufficient anyway if you have signed in to websites. shouldn't get those tabs unless you aren't closing Firefox properly like when you let Windows closing Firefox when you shutdown the computer.
