PS I've made another test, and you're right: FF 2.0: If I have Download Manager open, then I close Firefox, then I DO NOT close the manager, then I re-open Firefox, my session is not restored! That's a bug! But why not fix it (restore my session EVEN IF the Download Manager was left open), instead of removing (???) 'Warn on closing multiple tabs' option, so as to prevent us from accidentally closing our opened tabs (but have at the same time the option to save our session automatically, set up in OPTIONS)?

Looks like you have added another bug (unexpected/undesired behaviour on close) instead of fixing the other bug... :-/

Look, I do not want a global change in Firefox development! I just humbly ask for a way to have Firefox 2.0 similar behaviour on closing the browser, that's all! Could be a preference, could be a code hack (just tell me/us where and what to edit in a Firefox file, so we can have the 2.0 behaviour on close (the warning) back!), could be a plugin, anything! Can we have it?

What I do not need, is having 10 different explanations, why Firefox works as you expect... I know it works this way. But I just ask for any way of having an expected and good functionality for me and anyone else, who like the FF 2.0 behaviour on close (warn me!) + automatic session restoration! :-)

That's all... :)
