I'm new to paying bills in Firefox. What does "save tabs and quit" mean as a choice? I clicked it, just to see, but it gave me an error message.
After I paid bills through my bank, I submitted them and then got a drop down menu with choices "save tabs and quit" or "cancel" or "quit". I don't know what tabs it's talking about.

You get the Save & Quit dialog if you close the last Firefox window.
If you save windows (tabs) then you can reopen them automatically the next time to continue the previous browser session.

Most online banking sites recommend that you close your browser to prevent personal information from being stored on your computer. Some sites may try to force you to close your browser. If you are on a public or portable computer, then closing your Firefox browser after banking online may be advisable. If you are on your home computer, then it may not be necessary.
If you feel that you don't need to close your browser, then you can just click on 'Cancel'. Otherwise, you should probably click on 'Save & Quit'. Then restart your browser and continue using Firefox. Firefox will restore the tabs and websites that you were viewing. Choosing 'Quit' will remove information about which tabs you had opened, and websites that you were on. When you next open Firefox, you will be starting with a new session.

If you are on a public computer to access a bank site then it would be safer to use "Forget About This Site" in the History sidebar or run in Private Browsing mode.
