I too noticed that but then found the Session Manager plugin which
will allow you to do what you want, and more.

its the first option in the firefox preferences.

Thank you Colin & Sam for your replies to my request for solution to  
the problem.
   Here is what just puzzled me.  When I was going to shut down my PC,  
I forgot to close the firefox browser and then later I started it up  
and clicked on the firefox icon to open it, my eyes popped out when I  
noticed the 'saved' tabs were still there in the bar.  It was intact!   
Funny?  From now on I'll keep the firefox browser on when closing down  
my PC.  That I do not like because I tend to keep on doing some other  
programs after closing the browser.

   Colin, I could not find Session Manager plugin.
   Sam, I could not find firefox preferences.
   Where can I find them?  Thank you for your big help here.  Jim
