FF3,x had the feature to save tabs when exiting FF. The New FF4 does not have that and I could not find a fix in about:config. That is a very valuable feature for me. Might have to return to FF3.x Please help! Thanks, Jack

You can set the warn prefs on the about:config page to true via the right-click context menu or toggle with a double left-click.

To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.

Thanks Cor-el

I want FF4 to SAVE on close... I already get a warning to close tabs or cancel.. "Close Tabs" then loses all tabs upon next time I open FF. Will one of these warn AND save? I see nothing in about:config that specifies "save."

Thanks for your time, Jack
