Like to return after close Firefox (internet) in the same opened webites, what is the solution?
If I closed Firefox p.e. for an Windows update) I will return in the same opened websites. Maybe in Firefox 3.6 was this normal, but ever since it´s terrible to close Firefox, because I must save every opened website. Most of the time I work with 20 or 30 opened websites (tabs). Hope I get this solution back, because FF is than easy as before.

If you want the same 20 tabs each time to start Firefox, you could put them into a bookmark folder, just so you don't lose them, then make them into app-tabs so that when you restart Firefox those are the ones that are reopened. You will only see the favicons on the tabs bar for those pinned as app-tabs, so you identify them by the favicon and the position (order). You would not include your homepage as an app-tab as that would cause a duplicate. (pin as app-tab from the tab context (right-click) menu)
If you want to close Firefox and immediately restart with the same tabs like you use when installing an extension, there is
- Restartless Restart :: Add-ons for Firefox
- https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/restartless-restart/
If you want the same behavior as prior to Firefox 4, where you ask for the same tabs at next restart, see item #31 "Restoring tabs from a lost session (#tabslost)"
or you can use the History menu and use "Previous session" which was added in Fx 4, and is available even if you set up as in item #31 above and don't choose at the end of the session.
If you always want the same tabs as last time change at Tools > Options > General and at the top choose When Firefox opens "Show my windows and tabs from last time" as opposed to "Show my home page.
It is even more important now than when you were on Firefox 3.*.* to close Firefox properly with File > Exit rather than the "x" in the upper right corner which just closes the Window.
If you display the "Firefox" button instead of menus you can use the "Alt" key to display menus, or get to tools > options via "Firefox" button > Options (2nd column) > Options
My usage: When Firefox starts show my home page, I have 13 tabs in a folder to be used as app-tab but frequently close all tabs if working on something else, then get them back by opening tabs in a folder and make them app-tabs. I do ask for the choice when when closing Firefox, but I can always use the History menu to bring back my tabs and windows from the last session. If I want more than just what was open at last session, I can next open "Recently closed Windows".
Please mark "Solved" one answer that will best help others with a similar problem -- hope this was it.
App-tabs are pretty much like regular tabs except that the tab is protected from opening a direct link or bookmark to another site within the app-tab -- that does not apply to bookmarks with substitution or javascript as they will open in the same app-tab.
App-tabs provide no more protection than normal tabs against web pages like this site while composing a reply where the typed text is frequently lost during composing and have to start over.
App-tabs are considered part of browsing history so you must save your browsing history for app-tabs to work. Tools > Options > Privacy you must have "Remember my browsing history" and in Settings where check marks mean to clear things you must leave unchecked "Browsing history". Annotated picture:

You can make Firefox 7.0.1 look like Firefox 3.6.*, see numbered items 1-10 in the following topic Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 thru 8.0, look like 3.6). Whether or not you make changes, you should be aware of what has changed and what you have to do to use changed or missing features.
There is a lot more beyond those first 10 steps listed, if you want to make Firefox more functional.
