Why don't the web pages I have up save anymore (so the same ones open the next time I open Firefox)?

I have webpages that I use on a frequent basis, so I have tabs for each one of the open. When I used to shut down Firefox it would save those tabs with the corresponding webpage. Now that I have upgraded to Firefox 4 it no longer saves these tabs when I reopen Firefox.

Can you reopen that session via "Firefox > History > Restore Previous Session" ?

You can set the warn prefs on the about:config page to true via the right-click context menu or toggle with a double left-click.

To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.
