Make sure that you do not use "Clear Recent History" to clear the "Browsing History" when Firefox is closed because that prevails and prevents Firefox from opening tabs from the previous session.


If you use cleanup software like CCleaner then make sure that Session is unchecked in the settings for the Firefox application.
