How to Enable Save Tabs on Exit for Firefox 4

Before I upgraded my laptop SSD hard drive, I could not keep many tabs open in Firefox, because it takes a huge amount of memory and slows to crawl my laptop. So what I normally only reminder of interesting places in the text file and visit again when I have time. SSD now, it all happened so quickly and I no longer need to close tabs. Every time I close Firefox 3, I click “Save and Quit” button if I have received “Do you want Firefox to save your tabs for the next time it starts?” When you restart Firefox 3, all the tabs open automatically.
Firefox has just released final four, and in fact I downloaded and installed the day before, because the setup installer is already in the Mozilla server. Upgrade to Firefox 3, Thunderbird 4 is very simple.

Are you sure you want to continue?” It is simply a check box’s to warn me when I try to close multiple tabs.

Fortunately, save, modify killing Firefox 4 is not removed, and it is disabled by default. There is no need to use add-on or extension of this feature. Not sure why the Firefox developers decided, but here’s how to save the closure of the tabs in Firefox.
