In older versions when i had many tabs open and tried to close the window it asked me if i really want to close and if i want them to be reopenned for the next session.

After updating this feature doesnt exist anymore.

It only asks if i am sure i want to close this many tabs.

Chosen solution

Firefox 4 and later versions save the previous session automatically, so there is no longer need for the dialog asking if you want to save the current session.
Use "File > Exit" or "Firefox > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit Firefox") if you want to restore multiple windows.
You can use "History > Restore Previous Session" to get the previous session at any time.
You may need to click the orange/gray Firefox button to see History.
There is also a "Restore Previous Session" button on the default about:home Home page.
