Hi,

When I installed the heron a few weeks ago I was pleasently surprised with the version of Firefox - 3 as opposed to 2.0.0.14 on my Windows drive. Even more pleased when I discovered the friendly way Firefox would ask me if I wanted to save the open tags.

However, after security upgrade this morning, this feature is no longer there - Firefrox just closes all tabs with no warning! Is this a setting I can change?

I tried this out and, like you, did not have a save-on-quit button. I followed a three-step procedure as outlined in the following page, and I now have that button back (see screenshot below). The about:config change appears to be the important one.

If this doesn't work for you, let me know and I'll outline the precise steps that I followed.
