Save tabs on exit

There used to be a way that we could change a setting to make Firefox prompt whether a user wanted to save on exit. This was extremely useful as I had the choice each time. Sometimes I want to automatically resume my last session, but most of the time I don't. I don't think it should be necessary to have to select 'Restore previous session' as sometimes when I start Firefox I don't remember and I've lost important websites that I haven't bookmarked.

Is there a way to do this in the current version of Firefox? I miss it.

Thanks in advance.

Warmly, Signme Uplease

In current releases Firefox relies upon session restore and browser.sessionstore.max_tabs_undo and when Session Restore can restore all the tabs then you won't be asked. Only if you exceed this maximum then you will get a confirmation prompt. See also the browser.tabs.warn on the about:config page.
