Firefox: How to close FF and have it restore tabs when I use it again?

[aceO07]

I know that FF can restore my webpages/tabs/windows if it crashes, but how do I use that feature if it didn't crash.

I'd love to be able browse for while, close FF and come back to the same tabs/windows later (without having to bookmark them).

I know I can bookmark my tabs and reopen all of them, but this is a hassle and there isn't an easy way to bookmark all the tabs in all the FF windows. (Yes, I can simulate a crash by killing the FF process, but that's too much work too.)

There is an add-on plugin that does this for firefox via the add-on link.

TabMixPlus can store sessions and reopen them if you want. I'm not sure if there's an option to auto-store on close and reload.

This is 2.0 right? I don't remember if the 1.x ones had it.

Anyway, no add-on needed.

Go to
about:config
Set browser.startup.page = 3

That is all. No idea why they don't put that into the options menu to begin with. This overrides your startup page option.
