my computer was acting funny, so i closed a firefox window on task maneger and it closed all my firefox windows. i restarted my computer, and when i went to open firefox it didn't ask me if i wanted to go to recently closed tabs/windows, it just went to the home page. how do i reopen the closed window? it had a lot of tabs that i was hoping to recover.

If you do not see those tabs under History > Recently Closed Tabs or Windows then that session may be lost.
In that case you may need to check the history.

Session restore works more reliable if you choose Tools > Options > General > Startup: "When Firefox Starts": "Show my windows and tabs from last time" instead of relying on the Save & Quit dialog.
