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.

    • Amazon Deal: These AMD RX 9070 XT GPUs are very good offers

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Amazon Deal: These AMD RX 9070 XT GPUs are very good offers by Sayan Sen Following the release of AMD's new RX 9070 GRE last week for $549 (our review), AMD currently has a couple of great deals on the more powerful 9070 XT wherein the GPU is on sale for $650. We already covered the Gigabyte Gaming model a couple of days ago which is still live at that price. Aside from that, the white ICE variant is also at the same price (purchase link under the specs table down below). This is interesting to note considering white cards are generally more expensive as they come with a premium attached. Similar to the Gaming model, the ICE card too employs Gigabyte's WINDFORCE cooling system which combines multiple design elements such as alternate-spinning Hawk fans, a vapor chamber, and composite heat pipes to manage heat dissipation. The Server-grade Thermal conductive gel further helps in this department. The inclusion of a semi-passive cooling mode allows the fans to remain inactive under low workloads, which allows for reduced noise operation during lighter usage. There is dual BIOS switch that allows toggling between performance and silent modes. The tech specs of the card are given in the table below: Specification Value Boost Clock Up to 3060 MHz (Reference Card: 2970 MHz) Game Clock Up to 2520 MHz (Reference Card: 2400 MHz) Stream Processors 4096 Memory Size 16 GB Memory Type GDDR6 Memory Clock 20 Gbps Memory Bus Width 256-bit PCI Express Interface PCI Express 5.0 Max Resolution 7680 × 4320 Maximum Displays Supported 4 Display Outputs 2 × DisplayPort 2.1a 2 × HDMI 2.1b Card Dimensions 288 × 132 × 56 mm (L × W × H) (2.7 slot) Recommended Power Supply 750 W Power Connectors 3 × 8-pin PCIe Get it at the link below: GIGABYTE Radeon™ RX 9070 XT Gaming OC ICE 16G Graphics Card (GV-R907XGAMINGOCICE-16GD): $649.99 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) (Was: $750) If your budget is lower, check this Nvidia RTX 5060 Ti 8GB deal out for only $330 wherein you get the latest James Bond game free. This Amazon deal is US-specific and not available in other regions unless specified. This is a first-party seller link (at the time of article publishing); ensure that you also purchase from a first-party seller link only.
