Firefox 4 and later versions save the previous session automatically, so there is no longer need for the dialog asking if you want to save the current session.
Use "File > Exit" or "Firefox > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit Firefox") if you want to restore multiple windows.
You can use "History > Restore Previous Session" to get the previous session at any time.
You may need to click the orange/gray Firefox button to see History.
There is also a "Restore Previous Session" button on the default about:home Home page.
You can set the warn prefs on the about:config page to true via the right-click context menu or toggle the value with a double left-click.

- browser.tabs.warnOnClose, see http://kb.mozillazine.org/About%3Aconfig_entries
- browser.warnOnQuit , see http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.warnOnQuit
- browser.warnOnRestart , see http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.warnOnRestart
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.
- Use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
- Preferences that have been modified show as bold(user set).
- Preferences can be reset to the default or changed via the right-click context menu.
Firefox does not Warn me when closing multiple tabs because:
- default: never remember history, is set to "Always use private browsing mode" - change to "Use custom settings for history and uncheck:
- Remember my browsing history - Remember download history - Remember search and form history
Bestoffer's solution really works. I would add that uncheck "always use private browsing mode" in addition to unchecking the other 3 items. and click OK then the warning would pop up when closing multiple tabs.
I just wonder why do they change this part of Firefox from version 7 only to make it more confusing and serve no other purple. Or may be it is just a bug that affect the other part of the program.
