Firefox 4 will no longer save tabs on closing. I downgraded back to 3.6. When will the new system be fixed?

When closing my browser window, Firefox 3.6 used to ask if I wanted to save my tabs for the next session. Firefox 4 does not do this. I downgraded back to 3.6. When will the version 4 be adjusted to again allow this?

Did you try to click on History > Restore previous Session? It works for me!

I tried that, it seemed to work, but then stopped, and only popped up the most recent tab that I was working on, not the multiple tabs that I had open at the time I closed the session. In order to actually get the full session back, I'd have to go through History and restore tabs one by one.

What a pain! I've gone back to 3.6.16 until they get this fixed.
