I really enjoyed having the option 'Save and exit' when I closed my browser, but since I updated Firefox this option is no longer available for me. How can I get that back?

I currently have Firefox 4.0.1.

Record of the tabs was not removed from Firefox 4, but it works a little differently.

  • By default, Firefox 4 will not ask to save tabs, but instead, it will automatically save your tabs on the output unless you're in private browsing mode. You can restore the next time by:

    1. by clicking on the Firefox button > history > "restore previous Session ', or
    2. type of Subject: House in the URL bar and press the Enter key, then press the button "restore previous Session."
    3. See: https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Firefox%20does%20not%20ask%20to%20save%20tabs%20and%20windows%20on%20exit

To display the message "save tabs and exit" when closing multiple tabs, you can do the following:

  1. Type of topic: config in the URL/address bar and press the Enter key
  2. Accept the warning message (promise to be careful)
  3. Open the preferences/list page
  4. Filter = browser.tabs.warnOnClose
  5. If its value is set to false, double-click top (in the lower panel) to toggle its value to true
  6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the 3 following preferences also:
    • browser.warnOnQuit
    • browser.warnOnRestart
    • browser.showQuitWarning

Things to check if the tabs are not saved:

  1. Browsing history must be saved

    • Button Firefox: Firefox button > Options > Options > privacy > [X] Remember my browsing history
    • Menu bar: Tools > Options > privacy > [X] Remember my browsing history
  2. Also, make sure that you do not erase "Browsing history" when you use clear recent history or when Firefox is closed
    • Using clear recent history

      • Button Firefox: Firefox button > history > clear recent history
      • Menu bar: Tools > clear recent history
    • When Firefox is closed
  3. Make sure that you are not in private browsing mode or in private browsing mode permanent:
  4. If you have the Tab Mix Plus extension, and then clear the built-in session restore.
