Performing File -> Exit will save (and restore) all tabs in all windows. Closing windows one by one (e.g. clicking the window's X in Windows) will only save the tabs in the final window.

What about optionally getting a "You have multiple windows open: [Exit], [Close], [Cancel]" prompt that would perform File -> Exit, File -> Close Window and cancel the request respectively?

I've noticed a similar behavior with the Minefield builds.  If I have a window with multiple tabs open and a download manager window open, I won't get prompted to save my tabs if I close the browser window first.  I'd think the optimal solution would be to treat non-browser windows as "secondary" and do the following:

1.) User closes browser window while secondary windows open
2.) Firefox detects that the current browser window is the last browser window open, and will prompt the user to save their session or to just quit.
3.) User selects "save and quit", happy to see that the browser will restore his tabs when he launches his browser
4.) (optional) restore secondary windows?
