Before the 29.0.1 upgrade, when I would close out a window that had a lot of tabs open, and reopen the window the next day all fo the tabs would reopen as well. Since the upgrade that doesn't happen. I searched the forums and went to options> general and confirmed the drop-down was set to "show my windows and tabs from last time." Not sure what else to do. Any suggestions?

In case you are using "Clear history when Firefox closes":

  • do not clear the Browsing History
