On re-starting FF all minimised windows from the previous session are open

I'm running FF 118.0.2 on Ubuntu 22.04. In settings, I have FF set to open previous windows and tabs. When FF does this it leaves all the windows open.

When I close FF only one window is open all the rest are minimised, so at startup I have to minimise most of the windows.

I wonder if there is some way of persuading FF to remember the state of my windows when it re-starts so that those that were minimised remain minimised?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Only the dimensions and position are stored as part of session data in sessionstore.jsonlz4 and in xulstore.json for the main window and not the minimized state.

Extensions can track the window minimized state and update it but I am not aware of any that do this for saved sessions though.

Many thank to Cor-el and Zeroknight for taking the time to reply. It's a shame, but it looks like it's not possible at the moment. Perhaps Mozilla will add this at some time in the future.

Anyway now I know how things stand.
