I have the new version...and I can't x out of my tabs w/o them NOT saving until the next time I open Firefox. How can you save the tabs like the last version allowed???

Your More system details list identifies your Firefox version as 3.0.19.

  • Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.9.0.19) Gecko/2010031422 Firefox/3.0.19 FBSMTWB

If you have updated to Firefox 4 then you should reset the user agent.

See:


Firefox 4 saves the previous session automatically, so there is no longer need for the dialog asking if you want to save the current session.
You can use "Firefox > History > Restore Previous Session" to get the previous session.
There is also a "Restore Previous Session" button on the default about:home Home page.

Another possibility is to use:

  • Tools > Options > General > Startup: "When Firefox Starts": "Show my windows and tabs from last time"
