    Re-fresh button is the same as the stop button.
    ie it alters it's function depending on what the page is doing - loading or loaded... and it changes its appearence accordingly.
    its at the far RHS of the window/bar where your type the web address in that you want to view

    Type about:config in the location bar, agree the warning, look for

    browser.history_expire_days.mirror;180

    browser.history_expire_days_min;1

    See what you have, mine is set to clear when closed

    To change, left click it to highlight, right click, click modify

    OK sorted the "save and quit".

    On the browser click on History, then click "restore preveious session". it then gives the "save and quit" option when closing down.

    You need multiple tabs for it to give a warning


    Yep that is a given, but my post below yours shows I have found the way to enable it, as previously with multiple tabs it did not give the option until I did that.

    Answer for my Q above, Can I get the progress bar back on the bottom task bar same as 3.6.17?

    Only with an add-on AFAIK. This one will do the job https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/status-4-evar/
    It gives you the option to display it in the status bar or as an overlay of the address bar.
    In my opinion FF4 is quick enough to make it unnecessary.

    Is that the one that you were certain wasn't there? :D

    Use XMarks to backup and sync your bookmarks. Helpful if you accidently delete one, you can login and restore from a backup.

    Just updated this morning, I deleted everything Firefox. Only one addon not supported.
    Even with 4GB RAM etc, it somehow seems faster.
    Move along, nothing to see.

    Yep, that's it:D was looking FAR right instead of just the addy bar, and have now moved both buttons onto the tool bar so that they are plainly visible.

    Am using XMarks so that should be OK.
