I generally have a “home” Firefox window with my most used tabs pinned. Sometimes I close it before another window, so I was frustrated to “lose” it and having to redo my pins. But recently I discovered this feature. Joy!

    I wish Firefox had a method to restore windows after a restart. Losing all my tabs across multiple windows due to work required updates is a huge pain.

      This is literally a thing? You just go to options and tick General -> Startup -> Open previous windows and tabs. It is quite literally the first option in the interface. I only mean to be a slight bit rude, but did you not even take a cursory look through the options?

      If you can use extensions, I use the Tab Session Manager extension. It has a ton of features too but the big one is auto saving your sessions so you can always restore it all after a restart.

      There is a “recently closed windows” section in the history area. You can get all your tabs back.

      It’s funny, it does do this when Windows restarts outside of your control.

      But if you manually trigger a reboot, it assumes you closed all your windows intentionally.

      At least that’s how it behaves for me

      I don’t understand this thread, this is exactly what I’m talking about in my OP.
