In MS Explorer when I close browser by clicking on X at top RH corner. It gives me warning "Do you want to close all open tabs". In most cases I wanted to close specific tab not site. This is very helpful.

In Firefox if I click on X at top RH corner it closes all open tabs and when I try to open Firefox it gives me massage that Firefox is running close all processes. Then I have do Alt-Cntrl-Del and open processes tab and select approprice process to close so I can open Firefox again.

Thanks a lot. Problem solved. I updated tabs options in tools/option/tab and it worked.

I have done this and FireFox still closes immediately, no matter how many tabs I have open. Any other ideas? I'm stumped.

You do not get the 'Save & Quit' and close tabs pop-up dialog if you choose Tools > Options > General > Startup: "When Firefox Starts": "Show my windows and tabs from last time".
