Hi, every time I quit FF 19 and then restart, my tabs from the previous session have been deleted

I have the Preferences set to 'show my windows and tabs from last time' and my privacy settings are set to remember history

I've tried going into safe mode and that didn't work either, so I'm pretty sure its not the ony add on I've got running which is Roboform

I'm on a Mac running Mountain Lion

Thanks

Interesting though, I can now see 'restore all windows' in the history tab, before it was greyed out

I've just clicked on it and its given me back several windows with tabs from previous sessions....so the session history isn't being deleted, it just isn't putting them up when FF opens

I've set my homepage to the default, however when I open FF it doesn't give me the option on the FF page to restore my previous session as it shows in the support thread you linked me to

I can go to History>restore previous windows, but not History>restore previous tabs.....
