This is probably the dumbest question ever, but I'm a relatively simple user of Firefox and have been for years. The newest version makes me livid, however, because it made the idea of keeping certain tabs open for days a pain in the rear end or unsuccessful with this "restore previous session" bullshit. Is there any way around this? I liked it when it prompted me to save tabs or not and that was that. I keep losing like 8 tabs that I never got around to and it's enough to make me want to jump ship or something, but I like the few extensions I do use and I'm pretty used to the new interface anyway.

Even if you have the setting Fangs404 mentioned set to True, if you set Zhentar's option (away from your homepage or a blank page) it just closes without asking, then by default restores your session. Combining Fangs404's suggestion plus setting "When Firefox starts:" to something like "Show my home page" will get you the dialog box asking if you'd like to save your session when you quit.

You guys are loving awesome! Thank you.

I am incredibly annoyed right now. I know I posted on SA when I couldn't figure out how to get my tabs to continue saving across multiple browser sessions, and you guys fixed that for me.

Well now, out of the loving blue, when I clear recent history it no longer removes my recently closed tabs and windows. I don't want people knowing I jerk off to midget tranny porn. What the gently caress, Firefox? Why for no reason do you give me these issues?

Isn't that what Private Browsing mode is for?

I don't know, I've never had to use private browsing mode because when I cleared history it would... actually clear all of my history. Now it doesn't, for no discernible reason.
