I installed FF5 and then de-installed it because the "pin" feature kept losing the websites, and the "save and quit" feature I always use was eliminated. WHY? Can that be fixed, and "save and quit" restored to #5?

I have been forced to de-install Firefox 5 after discovering that the "save and quit" feature of 3.6 has been discontinued!!! This is one of the most compelling reasons why I use Firefox over IE. I tried to use the "Pin" websites to the menu bar feature, but after doing that, it would work for a while, and then they would disappear (and I had carefully closed the page with the pinned sites last).

I hope you will restore the "save and quit" feature and fix the "pin" feature to be dependible. Please let me know if this is in the plans. I like Firefox, and hope I can continue to use it in the future.

see item #31 Restoring tabs from a lost session (#tabslost) is now done after restarting through the History menu with “Restore previous session”.

You can make Firefox Firefox 5.0 look like Firefox 3.6.18, see numbered items 1-10 in the following topic Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 5.0, or 4.0.1, look like 3.6).

app-tabs

Although I don't have a problem with them disappearing when I start Firefox, they always seemed like a potential problem over time. I use them but I often do start them over from a bookmarked folder so the are "clean" only one page per app-tab. I also close them accidentally, and can get back the one I deleted from the bookmarks folder I bookmarked my app-tabs into. You should be closing Firefox with File>Exit ("Alt+F" > "x")
