How do I get firefox to save tabs when I quit the program? This doesn't appear to be available in 4.0

On previous firefox version, when I quit the program, a prompt would ask me if I wanted to save tabs. That doesn't appear to be happening with 4.0 upgrade. Can I still save and quit?

One change in Firefox 4 is to by default stop Firefox displaying the warning message, but it can be turned back on by changing some preferences.

  1. Type about:config into the location bar and press enter
  2. Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
  3. Locate the preference browser.tabs.warnOnClose, if its value is set to false, double-click on it to change its value to true
  4. Repeat this for these 3 preferences browser.warnOnQuit, browser.warnOnRestart and browser.showQuitWarning

Nope; done that and I receive the warning on closing multiple tabs, but not the option to Save and Quit, Quit, Cancel etc

Thanks Tony, starting in safe mode does do it, also makes my location bar look correct as well. Time to work out what messes it up then.
