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

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:

My iPod Classic is seen by Windows but not by iTunes. I have reset it, gone to disk mode and it won't show up in iTunes. There appears to be music on it in a file called MUSICSAVE. How can I get this to work with iTunes again?

1. Update iTunes to the latest version. Plug in your iPod. If iTunes still can't recognize it, then in iTunes in the top left corner click help> run diagnostics. On the box that comes up, check the last two things. Click next and it should identify your iPod.
2. Click on your windows start menu. Type in "services". Click on it and when it pops up, on the bottom of it click on "standard". Now Scroll down to find "Apple Mobile Device" Right click it when you see it and click on "Start". When it has started, close iTunes and replug in your iPod and it should show up.
3. Check the USB cable
4 Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
5. Restart the Apple Mobile Device Service and verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed.
6. If you just want to add some photos, songs and movies from computer to your devices, you can use an iTunes alternative to do the job
7. Check for third-party software conflicts.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can purchase Lion from the Mac App Store. You will need to meet the requirements for Lion, but the Mac App Store will tell you whether your Mac is capable of running Lion or not.

Messages icon indicates that there is an unopened message but when i go into it the message is blank and no option to delete it. Any ideas how i can get rid of this and stop it from opening up in the blank message each time i open my messages?

The message icon on my iphone indicates that there is an unopened text message, but when i go into it, it just opens up a blank message, and there is no option to delete it. Any suggestions how i can get rid of this message, and prevent my phone from always opening up in the blank message whenever i go into my messages, rather than just opening as my inbox?
Many thanks

Hard restart.. While the phone is powered in, hold the power and home button. Hold them down and keep them held down. the phone will eventually shut itself off and reopen. keep held down till you see the appl elogo, then release. This will not delete anything off your phone, it will just force all apps to stop their current process. If you just turn the phone on and off, it will just pick up where it left off. Good luck

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]''

When I quit Firefox 3 I'd get an option to "Save and Quit" (which was extremely helpful). Now that I've upgraded to Firefox 4 and quit I can't seem to save my webpages. Is there a way I can get the "Save and Quit" option back?

See my question

Firefox now always stores the old session, and you can access it by going to the History menu and selecting "Restore Previous Session"
If you want Firefox to display the message to save the session, it can be turned back on by changing some preferences.
# 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
# Locate the preference '''browser.tabs.warnOnClose''', if its value is set to '''false''', double-click on it to change its value to '''true'''
# Repeat this for these 3 preferences '''browser.warnOnQuit''', '''browser.warnOnRestart''' and '''browser.showQuitWarning'''
If you always open the last set of tabs, an alternative approach is this:
# Click the orange Firefox button, then select options to open the options window
# Go to the General panel
# Change the setting "When Firefox starts" to "Show my windows and tabs from last time"

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.

Recently firefox started opening new tabs when I click on search results how do I get this to stop

When I use Google and I click on a search result it opens a new tab where it used to just take me to a new page in the tab I was using I was looking in the tabs tab in options and saw I could choose it to open in a new window but I don't see an option to open it in the current tab. This started happening out of nowhere.

Found a setting in Google that was telling it to open all result in a new Windows which I was guessing that Firefox was overriding and open it in a new tab like settings suggested unchecked the box in Google and now the behavior is back to normal.

Updated Firefox (as requested) and no longer have ANY search engine options in toolbar drop-down menu. How can I fix this?

The only options in the search feature (in the top right corner of FF) are Delicious and Norton Safe Search. It's the Google search I'm looking for; it's the only one I ever use.

Thank you, cor-el. Your helpful instructions were far over my head. I ended up downgrading to a previous version of Firefox, and all the browser options returned.
THEN... the Norton went fubar, and we lost use of all browsers; couldn't connect to the Internet at all on that laptop. Ended up pulling out an old one, found a Norton representative who instructed us to download onto a flash drive, and used that to uninstall the Norton. Now we have all browsers working normally, with all search functions intact.

I purchased a game on my iPhone 4S and it did not download to my ipad air, how can I get this to there?.

I purchased bejeweled with my iPhone 4S and was hoping it would appear on my iPad Air, but this did not happen nor did it appear in my purchased apps at the App Store on my iPad. How do I get it to recognize that it was already purchased? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Thank you for all the answers to my query. I had been using the same account on both phone and iPad, but did not make the difference. It said it was compatible with iPad. I just ended up having to pay for it on it as well. Sorry for taking so long to reply.

HELP! How come I can't 'save and quit' any longer with this new ver of Firefox? Does anyone know how to fix this?

When I updated Firefox I have now discovered I can no longer action the 'save and quit' function when closing down Firefox! Is this a common problem and more to the point is there a solution to this?? ie, change settings or some form of patch??
Any help would be greatly appreciated as this function WAS awesome when needing certain tabs kept open.

I understand the design change to the whole "save as app" tab, but I feel that Save and Quit feature from the previous version of Firefox is much better than this "app tab" feature. Is there anyway for me to have this back?

Restore previous session button available on my Firefox homepage is great, but what I really want is the Save and Quit feature. I have always felt that its one of the best features of Firefox, second only to search address bar directly leading me to the actual page. I read some threads about this, and found the answers very unconvincing. One of the suggested ones was "Pin as app tab" . No, I don't want to pin every tab that I want to visit say, thrice as an app. Second suggestion was, click on the obvious button on the homepage to restore the tabs(this took me quite a while to actually see). Why this change in design? This is identical to Chrome's but its very inferior to what Firefox already had. Is there anyway, without downgrading of course, I can get that feature back?

Okay, I found the answer myself. Going to about:config and setting browser.showQuitWarning to true, restored that option and brought it back. Thanks to anyone who is about to post. If this is false by default, it has got to change.

I have Firefox 6.0 running under Windows XL. When I forward an email with a URL in it, my recipients tell me the URL is not highlighted and they have to cut and paste it into their browser. Why? How can I get my forwarded URLs to be highlighted?

If you think getting your web pages to appear OK in all the major browsers is tricky then dealing with email clients is way worse. There are so many of them.
If you want to bulk email yourself, there are apps for it and their templates will work in most cases...

This one will create the form, database and send out the emails...

The alternative is to use a marketing service if your business can justify the cost. Their templates are tested in all the common email clients...

How do I get my "save and quit" back after updating to the latest version of Firefox on a PC?

How do I get my "save and quit" back I do not like having to close all my tabs and loose all that every time I close out of firefox. When I got the latest version of firefox I lost the ability for firefox to save my tabs when I close out of it. I have to go through the process of opening all my tabs and refinding the sites all over again each time I load up firefox. I can not find the place to change the settings to being back the way they were before firefox got the latest version. I want my "save and quit" back.

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 at any time. 
There is also a "Restore Previous Session" button on the default about:home Home page.
