After upgrading my Ubuntu 10.10 to 11.04, I noticed change in the Firefox
Web Browser to my disappointment. ?In the 10.10, I enjoyed opening Firefox
Web Browser to several tabs automatically opened as they were saved when
closed. ?Now I have to dig up long list of bookmarks to open up to click
some e.g. mail, weather, news, etc. every time I opened Firefox Web Browser.
?I tried its Tools, but I could not find one to add the feature. ?Did I
missed something? ?Any tip will be appreciated. ?Thank you. ?Jim

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

Thank you Colin.
I must admit that I am far more frustrated in the 'upgraded' firefox browser than before.
As per your tip, I click-opened Session Manager (in Tools list) -> Backup Sessions -> ... just a long list of "Older Browsing (2011-11-05)..." and so on. There is nothing to change configuration of 'tab' system. I tried many other things, but so far no success.
When I clicked on little green cross, 'noname(1)' popped up in bar. When I double-clicked it and it changed to the name of the bookmark that I selected. When I double-clicked it again, to find another bookmark to use, it came on. When I closed the browser and then later when I opened it again, I had to go back to first square to do it all over again. This really frustrated and confused me. I ended up depending on using history to open 'bookmarks' that were recorded.
I want that whenever I click-open the browser, my desired (saved) tabs be there waiting for me. Is there a possibility that I uninstall this 'upgraded' firefox browser and install previous firefox browser version that was in earlier Ubuntu version? Did I miss something else? Or is there a better browser that I could replace this browser? Chrome? Others? Me - deeply confused.
Thank you for giving this matter attention. Jim
