why does FF4 not keep my tabs open when i am leaving...the last version prompted with the question if i wanted FF to remember tabs..
now when i close out of my browser, it only asks me if i want to close all tabs..i want that other option back

Firefox now always stores the old session, and you can access it by going to the History menu and selecting "Restore Previous Session"
If you want Firefox to display the message to save the session, it can be turned back on by changing some preferences.
- Type about:config into the location bar and press enter
- Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
- Locate the preference browser.tabs.warnOnClose, if its value is set to false, double-click on it to change its value to true
- Repeat this for these 3 preferences browser.warnOnQuit, browser.warnOnRestart and browser.showQuitWarning
If you always open the last set of tabs, an alternative approach is this:
- Click the orange Firefox button, then select options to open the options window
- Go to the General panel
- Change the setting "When Firefox starts" to "Show my windows and tabs from last time"
hi tony...I followed all of the instructions you gave me...still have same problem. do i need to restart my computer for changes to be saved? i will try that in the meantime, awaiting your response. thanks...
