I have configured Firefox to Show Windows and Tabs From Last Time, so when i Restart Firefox it does restores the multiple windows and tabs from the previous session. But when i restart my computer Firefox failed to restore all the windows. Only one window with all tabs from the previous session is restored whereas the other windows do open but they open with just one 'NEW TAB'- that is 'previous tabs are not restored'. When i check history of recently closed windows data is missing and Restore Previous session is disabled. This doesn't happen all the time but happens most of the time when i restart my computer.

Make sure that you use File or Firefox > Exit to close all open windows at once.
Otherwise you will only restore the last closed window.

Hi cor-el I'm only using the Exit from the File menu ever since i started using Firefox, I'm having this problem in spite of using exit from the file menu. Never had this issue with the previous versions.
