Save Open Tabs When Exiting Firefox

One change I've noticed in the new Firefox 4 is that it does not ask for saving the open tabs.There is an option for turning on a warning message when you close Firefox but you can't save your tabs when you exit Firefox.
You can enable this option like in the previous versions of Firefox by just doing this optimizations .


1. Type "about:config" (Without quotes) into the location bar and press enter.

2. Accept the warning message that appears,

Now 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 2 preferences

"browser.warnOnQuit"

and

"browser.warnOnRestart"

5. Starting with beta, there will be an additional preference that needs to be set to true - "browser.showQuitWarning"

Now restart Firefox and open some tabs and try closing it.

Firefox will now ask you whether it should save your open tabs and open them when you open it the next time.
