Why can't I save my tabs when I exit the Firefox browser?
That is to say, where is the option that was available in the previous version of firefox?
I don't care for the option "open browsers from last time" since I may not want to save my tabs each and every time, not to mention the fact that it's goddamn cumbersome to keep going to the options menu just to switch between "show my homepage" and "show my tabs" every time I use firefox. I mean honestly.
And don't even mention the "restore previous session" option. I can't help but feel like what I'm asking is that difficult to implement. Why was it removed in the first place? It was a very important feature for me, when Firefox would ask: "Do you want firefox to save your tabs for next time" when I'd close the window, and there was an option to stop firefox from asking for those who so wish.
Please bring back that feature, it suits my needs perfectly. I hope people remember what I'm referring to. I hope "about:config" has an option to bring this back...

You can have things the old way, and even if you don't choose to restore your tabs the next time Firefox starts you can still restore your through your history as John99 mentioned, should you change your mind after restarting Firefox.
See item #31 in the following Restoring tabs from a lost session is now done after restarting through the History menu ("Alt+S") with "Restore previous session".
You can still have the old messages, to make sure you get your tabs restored immediately, but with or without the messages and whichever way you respond to the message you can still get back your previous session through the History menu.

What disappeared is the prompt at close down, because it is no longer needed. If you close firefox the option to restore is in the middle of the default start screen, (about:home) otherwise it is available as you are already aware from the History -> Restore Previous Session
These options are now available automatically, without you needing to explicitly tell firefox that you want to save the tabs, so the prompt is redundant.

Thanks guys, found it in the configuration settings in the link you posted.
Now to explain. What's really redundant is having to click on "restore previous session" instead of automatically making it happen. However I still want firefox to always open with my homepage, Google, whenever I'm not saving a bunch of tabs.
So again, for me this way is better. Glad to finally have it back. Firefox is perfect again :) .
