When I close all tabs firefox 4 (new version) never asks if I want firefox to save the open tabs.Is this not possible with the new version?

When I want to see the last visited webpages on a tab , there was a button (on the right side of forward button) and I coul choose one of the last visited 10 or 15 web pages.But now it has been removed.

Are two items above not possible any more?

One change in Firefox 4 is to by default stop Firefox displaying the warning message, but it can be turned back on by changing some preferences.

  1. Type about:config into the location bar and press enter
  2. Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
  3. Locate the preference browser.tabs.warnOnClose, if its value is set to false, double-click on it to change its value to true
  4. Repeat this for these 3 preferences browser.warnOnQuit, browser.warnOnRestart and browser.showQuitWarning

You can get the drop down list for the back/forward buttons by either right-clicking on the back/forward buttons, or holding down the left button until the list appears.
