Before FF 4 I could close FF and save my tabs, with FF 4 I have to reopen all my tabs each time I open FF. Time consuming. Help please

Before downloading FF4, when I closed FF it would ask if I wanted to save my tabs. I use the same basic 6 or 7 tabs that I keep open while on line, so when I close FF, I don't want to have to open them all each time. How do I save my tabs before closing with FF 4. I prompts me to warn that I will close the tabs, but does not give me the option to save them for the next session.

It is even easier now.

Firefox 4 saves the previous session automatically.
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:

  • Tools > Options > General > Startup: "When Firefox Starts": "Show my windows and tabs from last time"
