I updated to firefox 5.0 and when i try closing the window after having opened multiple tabs they cant be saved anymore.
In older versions when i had many tabs open and tried to close the window it asked me if i really want to close and if i want them to be reopenned for the next session.
After updating this feature doesnt exist anymore.
It only asks if i am sure i want to close this many tabs.

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 try to set the pref browser.showQuitWarning to true on the about:config page.
