When I start Firefox itt will not restore the tabs I had open during shutdown on the last session. This used to be an option when working on something in order not to have to leave the pc on over night. Now the option under Firefox/Options/General: On Firefox Startup: "Restore the tabs & Windows that were open in the last Firefox session" is grayed out, so that I cannot select it.

Make sure that you do not run Firefox in permanent Private Browsing mode.
