After a FF update today, FF notified me that my Flash player was out of date. While installing the new Flash, it asks me to close FF. I don't want to shut down and restart the computer. I just want to close FF long enough to complete installation of Flash. But I want to save the windows and tabs I have open so they come back when I restart FF. Not sure how I do that.

Go to TOOLS then OPTIONS then GENERAL then in WHEN FIREFOX STARTS session put SHOW MY WINDOWS AND TABS FROM LAST TIME. Don't forget to press OK to save it.

Thanks. When I checked, it was already set to that option.

I actually don't have a clear answer if it worked. I had two windows open, each with multiple tabs. I closed one of the windows. The other window stayed pinned to the task bar. But I was able to finish the Flash install. I then unpinned FF from the taskbar and restarted FF. Only the second window with all the tabs restarted.

Anyway no big deal. I can recover the tabs of that other window from today's History.
