How do i make it to ask to save my tabs on exit(like in FF 3.6)??? browser.warnOnQuit is set to true,but after today's nightly it doesn't ask me anymore.How do i make it ask me to save on exit again?

This bug landed due a stupid decision by firefox devs, I think.

It still saves them, y'know. Now it just doesn't ask every single time you quit (likely because a tiny minority ever made a different choice on it).

It's getting better, but it looks like they are waiting until the RC or even final build to finish the UI.

They're not waiting, they're prioritizing. Tweaks land all the time, in general order of importance.

I usually start firefox with the home page set to SpeedDial.

But, sometimes I need my tabs back on restart: on addons updates, Firefox updates, privacy concerns or just closing the browser, grabbing a coffee and returning to work.

The old way, all I needed to do was choose to save my session.

Now, please, explain to me, how can I do that, after this devs decision?

And removing from configs too, ow man, bad bad decision.

I get a message that I'm closing multiple tabs, but after i start FF again it doesn't load them.And what do you mean it still saves them?

He means that it automatically saves your tabs when you close Firefox, and should restore them the next time you start it up. Under Options > General, do you have "Show my windows and tabs from last time" set?

Restoring tabs and windows from last session is stupid.I don't want it to always restore them.For example i open 10-20 tabs and at the end of the day i close firefox.The other day i start firefox and it will load tons of tabs i don't want.The FF 3.6 behavior was fine.It asked you if you want to save them for the next start of FF.And who doesn't want the dialog could disable it.Everyone was happy.Is there any way to save tabs on exit only when i want?Any script or something(except that TMP addon)?

While I understand the case, you are likely in a very small minority of users. Multiple clicks to close a program is something to avoid, thus their plan to remove less used items. I do hope you find something that lets you choose though.

I'm forced to use TMP now.

Actually no your not. The separate Session Manager extension will do exactly what your looking for. Even if you accidently close Firefox it backs up a certain amount of tab sessions. You can even tell it to never load them on startup and instead do that part maually if you decide to want to open all your saved tabs again.

I myself like saving all my tabs, if I ever close Firefox, because I always have 20 to 50 + tabs open 24/7!

im guessing it will be mid march by the time we see FF4 final. if that is the case i am done.

Dude, just use beta 11. You've complained for days now about wanting to use it, so just give it a try. The UI is barely going to change from here on out, so it doesn't make much sense at all to bitch every few hours about wanting to leave firefox, while at the same time wanting to use the new firefox.

If you're scared of losing your settings, install the beta to another directory or use a portable version of it (www.portableapps.com) or just create a whole new profile to test it. I'm sure once you use the beta, you won't go back. I've been using the beta for months now and I've enjoyed it far much more than FF 3.x.

TMP has it's own session manager.

    • I have never been a huge fan of libre, it feels really good but exactly when you need an advance feature for data wrangling it falls short every time or has bugs. I am all for euro office if they can deliver a good and usable alternative to MS office with backing of govt function.
    • Go on, I'll bite. How does windows (nice comment on an 'article' which doesn't actually involve it ) lock users out of their data then? Been using it since 3.1 back in 92 and not once have I been locked out of my data? Perhaps you mean Bitlocker? In which case the average user (who doesn't mess about) will have been forced to use a MSA, and in which case the recovery key would have been saved to said account..... If the user did happen to bodge around and not use an MSA then Bitlocker wouldn't have become live (as it cannot without a safe place to store the key) I want to point out Bitlocker and MSA are not connected and you can of course force it on without a safe place to store the key, but you do that with your eyes open. So your standard consumer who knows no better sets up an MSA, gets bitlocker and a recovery key stored off box, with a route to reset their password. All of this notwithstanding the fact, if your data is important, you back it up, no ifs, no buts, no-ones responsibility other than your own. Important data lives in at least two locations, one of which is offline and recovery is tested, otherwise that data wasn't really that important. Disks, fail, laptops get lost, phones end up down the toilet, tablets get stolen, if your only copy of data is on a single device you're doing it wrong.
    • Clearly that feature isn't for us. It's for the ad spam marketers so they can more directly target us about going to places we might want to go again...but without understanding context clues. Like for the flight someone took for a friend's funeral. We want to be reminded of that every time we open an app, a browser, or email, right? Right, Siri?
    • Is your Apple Watch supported? Check the watchOS 27 compatibility list by Aditya Tiwari Apple kicked off WWDC 2026 with a ton of announcements, mostly centered around Apple Intelligence improvements, the Siri AI, and Liquid Glass updates. However, there is a lot of other stuff that couldn't catch the limelight. Let's talk about watchOS 27 and which models are supported by the newest operating system. According to the Cupertino giant, watchOS 27 will be supported on the following Apple Watch models when it arrives later this year: Apple Watch Ultra 3 Apple Watch Series 11 Apple Watch SE 3 Apple Watch Series 10 Apple Watch Ultra 2 It's a stark contrast with last year's watchOS 26 update, which had almost a dozen Apple Watch models in its list of supported devices. Apple supported models all the way back to Apple Watch Series 6. That said, if you own one of the five models, you'll need an iPhone 11 (or later) with iOS 27 to install the latest update. Yes, Apple has shown some extra love to the iPhone 11, and it old horse supports the iOS 27 update. watchOS 27 beta 1 is now available for developers and interested power users through the Apple Developer Program. So, if you're among those who like to play with fire, you can download it to your supported Apple Watch. Otherwise, the public beta for watchOS 27 will be available next month. The freshly baked Apple Watch update comes with Siri AI - an advanced, fully conversational version of Siri powered by Apple Intelligence due for later this year. A new dynamic app grid features icons for five Siri-suggested apps. You can use a new tap gesture to open a widget in the Smart Stack, and a new Find My app finally clears the mess of Find Devices, Find Items, and Find People on Apple Watch. Workout Buddy can run without an iPhone nearby and offers new insights based on data, including your progress for pace, distance, and workout duration. Apple improved its motion tracking algorithms to measure the distance of indoor treadmill runs and walks more precisely. Speaking of other changes, the music playback on watchOS 27 starts faster and you can create custom passes for any membership or card that uses a QR code or barcode, then easily access them in the Wallet app or pin in the Smart Stack.
    • "and pull old flight details from your email during back-and-forth conversations" The Siri I've become to know and trust. I've always wanted to pull info on old flights. /s
