I can't save my tabs when I close Firefox 4 and I can't find anywhere to click and save them

Under the history menu I have found you can restore your last session but I can't just open Firefox and have the tabs there when I start

How do I get FF4 to use Google's I'm feeling lucky feature?

I first thought it was something in DNS, but yet this is not a problem in FF3.6.13

My web browsing workflow was as follows- Type name of website in address bar, hit enter, wait for mozilla.org homepage to load.

Now if I do the exact same thing in FF4b12, I get a google search results page instead of the mozilla.org homepage.

Why is that? And where in about:config can I go to fix that?

I have tried this on two different internet connections, my home ISP using the ISP provided DNS and at my workplace where we run an in-house DNS server.

I am on a Mac running Snow Leopard 10.6.6, I use AdblockPlus and FirefoxB persona.

See the google query differences below- FF4b10/11 used it and it works the same in FF3.6

http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=navclient&gfns=1&q=mozilla

This is the query in FF4 b12- http://www.google.com/search?q=mozilla&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a

Do you see the difference??

Address bar and search bar are too large in Firefox 4.12 Beta. I can make one of them smaller but it makes the other one larger to refill the space. Any way to make them both smaller so I can acquire a little more real estate to add one or two more icons? I'm already using "small icons" in the "customize" section. Also, can I move the "home" icon to the left of the address bar since I use it regularly?

I know that the Firefox button can be shown on Windows XP too by hiding the Menu Bar. But why is it not default? If Windows XP users do not know that Firefox button can be shown by hiding Menu Bar, they will not only not be able to access the Firefox button but will also not be able to enjoy tabs-on-titlebar. Describe Mozilla why it is not default???

Win 7 64 bit FF 4 b12.

Why does the return key not work after typing a url? Its annoying to have to use the mouse to click on the "go" button.

Also there is no "Check for updates" button, not so much for FF but for addons.

Thirdly, the addons bar does not show my addons eg Flashgot, Addblock.

Thnx

Heard about a Firefox add-on named Foxtab PDF Converter, googled it, got four hits saying it was malware and pervasive (as to uninstalling it.) It is supposed to convert any file capable of being printed to PDF, which seems like a handy add-on. Is anybody using it, or are the scares founded in reality?

When I try to print from Firefox, the printed page has the extremely stretched out Courier font and is almost illegible. Printing from all other sources on my computer (pdf, jpg, internet explorer) and have no issues with those aspects. Does anyone have any suggestions? It looks like when the printer is uncalibrated even though it works for everything else.
