In Firefox 3.x, whenever I closed Firefox it would stop me, to let me know i'm closing multiple tabs, and then give me the option to save. Since 'upgrading' to Firefox 4, it no longer offers me this, and simply opens my home page. I've checked within the preferences and the warning/save tabs boxes are ticked. This was one of the reasons I chose Firefox over Chrome, is there a fix?

Firefox 4 saves the previous session automatically, so there is no longer need for the dialog asking if you want to save the current session.
You can use "Firefox > History > Restore Previous Session" to get the previous session at any time.
There is also a "Restore Previous Session" button on the default about:home Home page.

Another possibility is to use:
