Solved: Closing FF3, why won't it save my tabs?
On my other computer (Windows OS) when I close FF3, it saves the tabs I have open so that when I restart FF they come up. How can I make my Mac version of FF3 do that?

Thanks!

Yes, I clear it once in a while, but usually only once a month or so.

Edit>Preferences>"Tab" tab>Warn me when closing multiple tabs < is this checked?


I have noticed in the past when searching FF Knowledge base, that it automatically directs me to Linux related info. Maybe you need to navigate yourself as I can't seem to see anything indicating why it does or does not.
It works for me on MS and Linux. (I am going to check Mac, I'll be Bach)

Edit>Preferences>"Tab" tab
Click help in lower left corner. Help topics come up relating to what tab you are viewing, which is why I say to go to that tab first.

Edit:
Firefox>Preferences

I just tried it, worked for me, asked if I wanted to save and quit.

Hmmmm....I don't remember shutting that feature off, so maybe it defaults to off??? Anyway, it seems to be working. Thanks!

However, just in case someone else needs to know, YOU MUST ACTUALLY QUIT FF FOR THIS TO WORK!!! Just clicking on the red circle in the upper left corner will NOT save the tabs for next time.
