Thanks. The settings button | History has a "Restore Closed Tabs"

"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?
