PS I apologize for typos in my last message:)

Just wanted to add that I am really tired of explaining the same thing over and over again... (and hear as answer "This works as expected" or "Now FF 3.0 is smarter when closing tabs and warning you" etc., because if it were true, then why would I and other people complain?)

I do not want to bother you, without need. The fact that for over 2 or 3 years I never even /thought/ of creating an account in bugzilla, means that I was entirely happy with everything Firefox browser gave as functionality all of these years! :)

The fact that now I have to explain and ask humbly 'Please, restore a tiny bit of the FF 2.0 functionality back!' means that something is wrong. It's right from your point of view, but it's wrong from mine and from the point of view of some other users as well.

I made more tests now. I closed FF 2.0 with 10 opened tabs and left the download manager opened for 30 seconds or more. Then I close it as well and started again FF 2.0. All of my tabs re-opened! So what you said is not true -- I have lost my session in 3.0 because I had to set my preference to 'Show a blank page on next Firefox startup' and had Download manager opened; I did not lose my session in FF 2.0, when I closed my tabs and Download manager was open! It means, FF 2.0 is smarter (for me!) and better (for me!). And that's an argument enough to ask for a change in behaviour...

Maybe it is very hard to achieve? I don't know. But it worked great in FF 2.0. Firefox saved my sessions. Firefox asked me before closing my tabs. I didn't ask for more! If someone else is not happy with this, OK. Then give us choice:
1/ 'Ask before closing multiple tabs, *no matter* if your session will be or will be not restored on next startup' (FF 2.0 behavour), OR
2/ 'Do not ask before closing multiple tabs, when your session will be restored on next startup'.

You want it as (2? Well, fine. But let others, who probably want Firefox 3.0 to save automatically their sessions (via preference) AND to ask them every time they close the browser window (so as to prevent accidental close of multiple tabs), have it in their way!

Is it possible? Is it too hard? What can we do to help this change happen?

Tells us this, instead of explaining to me and to other people, unhappy with the change in 3.0, that we are not right, that FF works better, as expected, etc!

Thanks! :)))))
