How do I keep multiple tabs open in Windows 7 so they reappear automatically when I open up Firefox after shutting down??

My old laptop was running XP. When I exited Firefox, I would leave all the tabs I was working in open. When I restarted the computer the next day and opened Firefox, those tabs would reappear. I now have a computer running Win 7. I'm still getting used to it. I'm finding that I now have to select "Restore Previous Session" in order to get those tabs to reappear. Is there a way to have the tabs reappear automatically when I open Firefox on this new computer? Thanks.
