I find it more productive if I get firefox to restore the pages/tabs that I had open when I closed it. What I really want from firefox is an option to bookmark a group of tabs. So I can open all the pages that I need for whatever I am doing.
I thought this option already existed because I have done this before, but that might have been a plugin/extension.
