Why are my saved bookmarks randomly not loading on startup even if I have saved them earlier?
Whenever I exit the firefox, I am asked if I want to save the current bookmarks so they will be loaded automatically next time I use the internet. Lately, they haven't been loading automatically even though my laptop is not crashing.

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" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit Firefox") 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:
- Firefox/Tools > Options > General > Startup: "When Firefox Starts": "Show my windows and tabs from last time"
Make sure that you do not use Delete browsing, search and download history on Firefox to clear the 'Browsing History' when you close Firefox.
I still have that dialog asking me to save the current session since I asked earlier to still have that option. these are the steps I was tought to do:
1. Type about:config into the location bar and press enter
2. Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
3. Locate the preference browser.tabs.warnOnClose, if its value is set to false, double-click on it to change its value to true
4. Repeat this for these 3 preferences browser.warnOnQuit, browser.warnOnRestart and browser.showQuitWarning
What are the default settings for these so I can deactivate the dialog and try the steps you mentioned?
You can reset pref that you have changed and that show bold (user set) via the right-click context menu to the default value.
You should see a check box in the pop-up dialog to not get the warning or you can set the pref browser.showQuitWarning to false.
