I accidentally closed both of my Firefox windows with an "x" and the rebooted my computer. After the reboot there is nothing under "History"->"Recently closed windows" and "Recently closed tabs". Is there any way to get my windows back?

You need to ≡ > History > Restore Previous Session before recently closed windows become available.

Closing a window does not register its tabs as recently closed.
