Since loading FF4, I've lost option to save and restore my tabs on restart. How can I get this feature back please?

When I shut down my system FF4 doesn't give me the option to save my tabs, and restore on restart.

Firefox now always stores the old session which you can access by going to the History menu and selecting "Restore Previous Session".

If you always open the last set of tabs, an alternative approach is this:

  1. Click the orange Firefox button, then select options to open the options window
  2. Go to the General panel
  3. Change the setting "When Firefox starts" to "Show my windows and tabs from last time"
