Getting Firefox 4 to Save Tabs On Exit Again

So when Firefox 3.6 came out, wrote a post get new tabs to open at the end like they used to (my personal preference). Today with the release of Firefox 4, it seems they have disabled the “Do you want to save tabs for next time Firefox starts?” message. Here’s how you get it back:

1) Open Firefox 2) Type into the address bar “about:config” – without the quote marks – and press enter 3) If prompted click the button marked “I’ll be careful, I promise” – This won’t be harmful to your system as long as you don’t go randomly clicking around 4) In the filter bar type “browser.showQuitWarning” and press enter 5) There should only be one item in the list, double click it to set it to true (It will go bold) 6) Try closing Firefox with multiple tabs open, and enjoy.

I really don’t know why this is now turned off by default, this is a regression to Firefox 2, when everything else about Firefox 4 is awsome.

Update: If the above dosn’t fix your problems right away, use the same method to set the following values: to true (if they aren’t already):

   browser.tabs.warnOnClose
   browser.warnOnQuit
   browser.warnOnRestart

i do not know why but this did not work for me... before it gave me the choice to close multiple tabs but now it doesnt matter cause it closes everything instantaneously and would you know how i can get firefox to logon accounts when i get on it wont ask to save passwords or remember passwords it only has the passwords i had before i updated do you know why they got rid of the best parts of FF?

• For saving tabs, it looks like Firefox 4 saves tabs automatically when closing. You can always restore them from History> Restore Previous Session.
• For saving passwords, go to Tools> Options> Security> Remember passwords for sites

I hope that helps

ok thank u the restore previous session is helpful but it still does not save my passwords and doesn't ask to save them from 3.6 it remembers the old passes but for the new accounts i have it just wont... i have to manually place them in, and im not good at remembering hundreds of passwords

sorry guys and thnx for ur support i fixed the problem it wasn't working because i stopped Firefox from remembering my history when i switched it on everything worked fine

so for all of u that are missing these options 1.turn on history 2.do what assemkh said 3. and if that doesn't work then do what sam1 said

thnx for ur help

Firefox 12 - will not restore tabs, every time I re-open the browser it gives the "well this is embarrassing" error
