Restore in FF4 functions differently?

In FF3, when I restored a session, each tab was refreshed with the most current content. It seems that FF4 restores the tabs to their previous state without updating any of the tabs.

Have I missed a setting to change this? I do not want the historical page, but rather the most current page available when I restore a session.

Thanks.

PS. Posted from another computer still on FF3, so info on my setup not accurate for this question.

I think this may have to do with a difference in a plug-in in FF4, but unsure. Maybe Tab Mix Plus? Something with whether the cache is checked upon reopening a tab or not. Any other clues appreciated.
