Firefox 4 "Save tabs and Exit" is missing

I upgraded to Firefox 4 today and was rather peeved to find that when I would exit with multiple tabs opened up, I no longer got the message box asking me if I want to save my open tabs for the next time that I start FF. It wasn't a huge deal because when FF started back up, you get a "Restore Last Session" box but it still kinda pissed me off.

I did a search and for some reason the FF engineers disabled a setting in the "about:config". I figured there would be something in the basic options but I guess not. So here is the instructions for getting this feature back.

  • In the address bar type "about:config" and hit enter
  • Click the "I'll be careful, I promise" button
  • Scroll down to "browser.showQuitWarning". If in the "Value" column it is set to "false", right click and choose "Toggle". It should now be set to true.
  • Scroll down to "browser.warnOnQuit". If in the "Value" column it is set to "false", right click and choose "Toggle". It should now be set to true.
