Thanks. The settings button | History has a "Restore Closed Tabs" option
that isn't in the History pulldown. When you first start Firefox, the option
reads "Restore Closed Windows". Neither actually does the same thing as the
"restore previous session" button used to do. I have no idea what criteria
Firefox uses to decide which windows/tabs to restore, but they aren't the
ones that were open when I closed Firefox.
There also doesn't seem to be way of customizing the menu bar to include the
option, or even the option in settings button | History section. The History
| Restore Closed Tabs is gone.
I'm using Firefox 45.4.0.
I preferred it when Firefox automatically restored your last session. I
didn't mind it when it started asking you nor even when it made you press a
button on the startup page. I gather from the increasing difficulty in
restoring the previous session, someone has decided that people simply
shouldn't do it. :)
I am using FF 49.0.1, currently logged into Arch Linux. I have an option
History -> Restore Previous Session. I can also go History -> Recently Closed
Tabs -> Restore All Tabs.
Isn't this what you are looking for, or did I miss something?
Interesting. These options weren't there earlier but have now appeared.
Unfortunately History | Restore Previous Session is always greyed out.
The other ones are now behaving like the Settings Button | History
except that they are both present all the time. The Restore Closed
Windows opens a new browser with the previous session restored -
meaning I have to close the browser that launched it.
There is some real weirdness going on with Firefox.
