On my old computer, whenever I wanted to quit Firefox with multiple tabs open, I got a popup box that said, "Do you want Firefox to save your tabs for the next time it starts?" and was given a "save and Quit" option. Very handy for when I want to pick up where I left off the next day. Now with my new computer I only get a "close tabs" option.

One change in Firefox 4 is to by default stop Firefox displaying the warning message, but it can be turned back on by changing some preferences.

  1. Type about:config into the location bar and press enter
  2. Accept the warning message that appears, 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 3 preferences browser.warnOnQuit, browser.warnOnRestart and browser.showQuitWarning
