How do I properly close (shut down) Firefox if it is running two windows with multiple tabs in each and I want to save them all?

How do I properly close (shut down) Firefox if it is running two windows with multiple tabs in each and I want to save them all? I tried closing each window by clicking the X in the top right corner, but then on restart Firefox loads only the last-closed window. Is there any way to shut-down Firefox so it restarts with both windows?

Hi osenochen, a couple additions to the first reply:

  • you can display the classic menu bar temporarily by tapping the Alt key or F10 to access the File menu
  • there's also a "power" icon at the bottom of the graphical application menu (the one displayed by the "3-bar" menu button) if you prefer
  • if you closed a window and you want to re-open it, go to the History menu and check the list of recently closed windows (by default, up to 3 closed windows are remembered and can be re-opened -- not applicable to private windows)

File > Quit/Exit depending on OS will close Firefox at once so it will resume where it left off if you have "Show my windows and tabs from last time" in Options/Preferences > General > Homepage.

The X on title bar will only close that one window.
