Since updating to Firefox 4, upon closing I am no longer asked to save the open tabs. How can I do this? I see that others have asked this question, but I do not see an answer>

prior versions of the browser always asked if you want to save the tabs as an option when closing out of Firefox. The current version doesn't give you that opportunity.

One change in Firefox 4 is to by default stop Firefox displaying the warning message, but it can be turned back on by changing some preferences.

  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
