Firefox now always stores the old session, and you can access it by going to the History menu and selecting "Restore Previous Session"
If you want Firefox to display the message to save the session, it can be turned back on by changing some preferences.
- Type about:config into the location bar and press enter
- Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
- Locate the preference browser.tabs.warnOnClose, if its value is set to false, double-click on it to change its value to true
- Repeat this for these 3 preferences browser.warnOnQuit, browser.warnOnRestart and browser.showQuitWarning
If you always open the last set of tabs, an alternative approach is this:
- In the Firefox menu select Preferences to open the Preferences window
- Go to the General panel
- Change the setting "When Firefox starts" to "Show my windows and tabs from last time"
Awesome Tony E! this is a great couple of options to have access to. I like how there are deeper edits to set if one wants to. You guys rock the Fox! Keep up the great work! EF
