I recently upgraded to Firefox 4. I cannot find the trick to make Firefox 4 remember my tabs when I shut down my computer. How do I get that feature back?

In the prior version, on exit, Firefox asked me if I wanted to save my tabs for the next session. Firefox 4 does not do that. It loses my tabs so when I open up a new session I am starting from scratch rather than where I left off at.

You no longer need to tell Firefox in advance to save the tabs. You are still able to specifically set Firefox to open from the last set of tabs instead of the homepage.

Firefox will now normally also offer to reopen the last set of tabs from a button in the middle of the default startup page, else you may use the 'History' tab, available from within the "firefox button"

Thanks. Took me a few minutes to figure out from your message that I select the options field on the Tools drop down then select the option I want from the "Where Firefox Starts" field.

Thanks for posting back, Glad it worked.

There are the two entirely separate methods of resuming with the previous tabs. As mentioned in the first part of my message, the method you have chosen is to specifically start with the last set of tabs instead of starting with a home page.

The other method is to (maybe more as a one off) select to open with previous tabs from either the button in the default page, or from the history menu. It is this method that previously had the question as you closed down, there is no longer the question asking if you want to save the open tabs, although you do still get the option to use them on startup. It is a more sensible method, but it does cause concern for those of us used to being asked on closedown.
