When closing Firefox, I used to have the choice to 'save and quit' so I'd open with the same tabs next time. This has stopped with the new version. How can I save my tabs now?

the only message that comes up now when I close is 'you are about to close x number of tabs' with no offer to save anything.

Firefox 4 saves the previous session automatically, so there is no longer need for the dialog asking if you want to save the current session.
You can use "Firefox > History > Restore Previous Session" to get the previous session. 
There is also a "Restore Previous Session" button on the default about:home Home page.
Another possibility is to use:

Had to restart pc. when closed, i told firefox to save and quit, but when re-started, lost all pages

I had several web pages open for downloading. I had to re-start my pc for another reason, so when I closed down, firefox gave me the option of "save & quit." But when the pc restarted, none of the web pages were opened.

Sorry, going to create a "new" account using the same username (email address) deleted your data from the Sync servers the same as if you had requested a new Password.
My advice is to ask a Mac-owner friend for help by the friend connecting that external drive to their Mac and accessing your Time Machine backups and then copying that data to a USB Flash stick. Either all your backup data, which you can pick thru; or have the friend look specifically for your Firefox bookmark related files.
'''places.sqlite''' = file where bookmarks are stored
'''bookmarks-''yyyy''-''mm''-''dd''-###.json''' = bookmarksbackup files
''[year-month-day-count number of bookmarks in the file]''

Upgraded to 3.6.10 now cannot open a new window, when closing firefox, it hangs and will not reopen without closing firefox via task manager

Since the upgrade (which took many attempts) after about 2-3 clicks, i cannot open new windows. I can open new tabs, but never a new window.

Firefox 4 don't ask me to save and quit running tabs.

And when i start Firefox then, just come home page.

Type about:config in the address bar and press enter.
Click on I'll be careful, I promise
Enter browser.warnOnQuit in the filter field at top
Double click (toggle) on it to change the boolean value to true.
Now enter browser.showQuitWarning in the filter field
Double click on it to change it to true
Now restart Firefox

I accidently checked the don't ask me again button when closing firefox, how do i uncheck it?

I accidentally checked the box that says don't ask me again when it prompted if i wanted to save and quit. However, i need it to ask me this so how do i un-check the box?

First check the following setting. In the Tools menu select Options. In the Options dialog go to the General panel and make sure the setting "When Firefox Starts" is not set to "Show my windows and tabs from last time", you can set it to either of the other 2 choices.
Now reset the 3 preferences that relate to warning when closing Firefox.
# Type '''about:config''' into the location bar and press enter
# Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
# Find the following 3 preferences, right-click on them and choose '''Reset''' (if reset is not available they will already be at their default value)
## browser.tabs.warnOnClose
## browser.warnOnQuit
## browser.warnOnRestart

HOW MAY I SAVE MULTIPLE-OPENED BROWSING TABS WHEN CLOSING FIREFOX, PLEASE?

When closing Firefox I would like to be able to leave some tabs open so my next session just carries on, as though I had left a real $5.00 note bookmark in an ole-fashioned book.

Firefox 4 automatically saves your tabs and windows when you exit to restore them just click the Firefox button>History menu>Restore Previous Session and it will open your previous tabs and windows in addition to your current tabs and windows.

When closing Firefox windows, I would like a warning before the last window closes. The about:config settings do nothing. There is a warning for multiple tabs..

When closing Firefox windows, I would like a warning before the last window closes. The about:config settings do nothing. There is a warning for multiple tabs... why not for the last window? I do not use tabs... just windows... I have a mouse button programmed for that. It is really irritating to have to restart Firefox all the time and then open the history window because no warning was issued!

This is ridiculous. I've had this problems for years now and I'm finally walking away from Firefox. I use my keyboards more than my mouse, and how many times does your finger slip and hit Command Q instead of W. How come FF can't reset something as trivial as this? So many people are having problems with this?
Feels like FF has become too big, too slow and just not cooperative anymore. What a shame, I've been using Netscape/Firefox for 13 years. This is silly.

How to make it selected when clicked and open popup

Hi,
I 've a form in the parent page with many form elements.
I've 2 radio buttons with values "Yes" and "No". I am opening a modal popup when clicked on "Yes" radio button. The modal popup is opening fine.
But when I click "Yes", it' s not selected. After modal popup is closed, when I return to parent page, the option "Yes" is still not selected.
How to make it selected when clicked and open popup?

Perhaps try moving the application to your preferred desktop and then right-click it's dock icon > options > Assign to This Desktop.

In Firefox 3.6.10 there is a save and quit option when I shut down two opentabs, how do I get this in firefox 4.0.1?

When closing Firefox version 3.6.10 with two or more tabs open I am asked 'Do you want Firefox to save your tabs for the next time it starts?' I then have the option to 'Save & Quit', 'Quit' or 'Cancel'. This does not seem to be available in Firefox 4.0.1. Is there any way I can get this option in Firefox 4.0.1?
If not it looks like I shall have to continue with 3.6.10

When closing Firefox, after reopening it, my tabs are gone, even though I have Firefox set to remember session.

When closing Firefox, after reopening it, my tabs are gone, even though I have Firefox set to remember session. However, after several hours and opening and closings of Firefox, it will open tabs from the old session, for no apparent reason.

You can check for problems with the sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak files in the Firefox profile folder that store session data.
Delete the sessionstore.js file and possible sessionstore-##.js files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox profile folder.
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Multiple_profile_files_created
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost and you will have to recreate them (make a note or bookmark them if possible).
In case you are using "Clear history when Firefox closes":
*do not clear the Browsing History
*Tools > Options > Privacy > Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history": [X] "Clear history when Firefox closes" > Settings
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Clear+Recent+History
Note that clearing "Site Preferences" clears all exceptions for cookies, images, pop-up windows, software installation, and passwords.

How do I add selective color to black and white photo?

New to Photoshop Elements 12. How do I add selective color to a black and white photo?

The easiest way is to use the Smart Brush tool in Expert tab.
On the tool's option bar, in the drop-down select "Revers Effects", then select the "Reverse" option. Be sure that "Inverse" is ticked.
Paint over the object that is to retain color, the rest will become b/w.
