When I opened Mozilla after it had crashed before, I was asked if I wanted to restore the old session (a few tabs had been opened) or start a new one. I accidentaly clicked on "start new session", then closed Mozilla.

When I opened it anew I couldn't finde the restore option anymore. Is there anyway I can get that last bundle of opened tabs back? (I don't want to go through the history and open all the tabs manually.)

You can look in the Firefox Profile Folder to see if there is a file sessionstore.bak from around the time that the crash occurred.
If you find such a file then make a backup copy and rename the file to sessionstore.js to see if that brings back that session.
