I used to be asked when exiting a session with several tabs open whether I wanted Firefox to save my tabs. It's not asking that anymore. Is that function no longer available?

I liked having the option of Firefox saving multiple tabs and starting the next session by opening those tabs. I'm no longer being presented with that option. Is that option no longer available in the current version of Firefox?

Firefox 4 saves the previous session automatically, so there is no longer need for the dialog asking if you want to save the current session.
Use "File > Exit" or "Firefox > Exit" if you want to restore multiple windows.
You can use "History > Restore Previous Session" to get the previous session at any time.
You may need to click the orange/gray Firefox button to see History.
There is also a "Restore Previous Session" button on the default about:home Home page.

Another possibility is to use:
