In Firefox setting i have selected the startup option Open previous windows and tabs in startup. Still, when i Exit Firefox it asks if i wan to close the tabs. I suppose it shouldn't? After closing and restart Firefox doesn't restore previous session as it should. Whats wrong with this setting?

Thanks. I had selected the 'Clear history when Firefox closes' option from privacy settings. The problem was solved, after clearing the additional option 'Browsing & Download History' for clearing history.
