Except right now you lose all of your open tabs if you close the browser with the "X" on pc or if you shut the computer down.

To make it save your open tabs right now, you have to click the ... and then select "exit".

    When I click history in the menu after reopening firefox, I have an option to restore previous session.

    I think that's an issue with your install, when I shut down my computer or press the x it restores tabs fine next time I open it.

    If it's with the install, it's from a bad/corrupted update. FF has been on there for ages. Are you on windows 10? I've seen it's a known issue because it's findable if you Google it. Be a strange bit of a corrupt install, being that it's the only issue and that it works as expected if you select "exit" instead of hitting the "X". Regardless, if you're also on 64bit win10 system and it works normally for you, I'll do a clean install.

    Yes this is also on a 64 bit windows 10 install, so in theory yours should be functioning the same. Good luck getting that sorted as if you are like me and frequently use the same tabs that does sound like a pain

    Do you have "open previous windows and tabs" ticked in settings? I'm also on 64bit win10 without the issue you describe.

    Yes. I've also tried un checking it, closing firefox, opening Firefox, re checking it, and it still only remembers my tabs if I "exit" Firefox instead of just hitting the X.

    Since it's not happening to everyone else with windows 10, I'm going to just do a clean instal and see if that fixes it.
