With the last Firefox, I would close it with (Command, Q). Then it would remember what tabs were open when I opened it back up. With the new firefox, it doesn't do this! It opens up and only shows one tab, which is my home page. Is there a setting I need to change?

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.

You can use "Firefox > History > Restore Previous Session" to get the previous session.

There is also a "Restore Previous Session" button on the default about:home Home page.

Another possibility is to use:

Make sure that you do not use Delete browsing, search and download history on Firefox to clear the 'Browsing History' when you close Firefox.
