Firefox used to ask me if I wanted to save tabs, but now it just asks me if I want to close tabs, just a warning, but no option to save, I've searched about the problem but it only shows up for firefox 4 user and I'm still using firefox 3.6, and don't want to upgrade it for now

Hi seraphim99,
You will get that Quit Firefox message "Do you want to save your tabs for the next time it starts?" [Save and Quit] [Quit] [Cancel] if you follow what is currently step 31 in the link I had provided Restoring tabs from a lost session (#tabslost)
Which indicates as follows: (boldface is user set)
- browser.showQuitWarning user set boolean true
- browser.tabs.warnOnClose default boolean true
- browser.warnOnQuit default boolean true
- browser.warnOnRestart user set boolean true
Links were included there for assistance with about:config for those that don't know how to change configuration variables, along with additional reference for that and so that other similar questions of making Firefox 4 look/act like Firefox 3.6.17 would also be answered particularly the items in the first 10 steps in the same area. Which was addressed by the following part of my original reply
You can make Firefox 4.0.1 look like Firefox 3.6.17, see numbered items 1-10 in the following topic ["http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 look like 3.6)].
I don't know if you looked at the web page or not, but I've highlighted some additional words there to try to make the webpage more clear to others in the future.
Hope that Helps

You don't need to do that anymore you can now use "Restore Previous Session" from your History Menu see item # 31 Restoring tabs from a lost session (#tabslost) in the following ...

I mean I want the "Do you want Firefox to save your tabs for the next time it starts" dialog to pop up again whenever I close my Firefox, because now it only gives me a warning that I am about to close all the tabs. I don't like the auto save feature (Show my windows and tabs from last time whenever start Firefox). Is there any other way?
.. and sorry for my bad English
