Before updating to FF 4.0, when I close, it warned me that I was about to close multiple tabs IT ALSO gave me the choice to save all open tabs (not bookmark) so they would all open once I opened FF again. Where is it???
When I close - it does still tell me that I am about to close multiple tabs... but it no longer gives me the option to save open tabs, NOT bookmark, SAVE open tabs. That way, the next time I open Mozilla, all the open tabs from my previous session would open once again. 'Save Open Tabs' is GONE - it would be very helpful to have it back. I don't use it all the time, but it was much easier to save open tabs when I wasn't able to finish what I was doing instead of having to search through the previous days history to find what I need when I start my next session!!!

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:
- Click the orange Firefox button, then select options to open the options window
- Go to the General panel
- Change the setting "When Firefox starts" to "Show my windows and tabs from last time"
I found I wouldn't be warned when closing with multiple tabs open (using X button) when I changed privacy to "Never Remebember History", even if setting is checked. It could be the same for you or maybe another setting you changed. I think it's a bug where settings are incompatible/in conflict. FF 4.0.1 on Windows here.
I was so happy to discover this because it was driving me insane accidentally closing more than 10 tabs!
