Firefox not saving tabs/windows to reopen next session

Whenever firefox crashes, a page saying "Ooops this is embarrassing" appears, letting me restore the previous session.

However, ever since a recent crash, it hasn't appeared anymore whenever it crashes, and I lost all the tabs I had opened because of that. I tried forcing a crash multiple times and that page simply doesn't appear anymore, whenever I open firefox again all I get is my homepage.

But if it was only that... I have my firefox settings to reopen my windows and tabs from last time when it launches, but it doesn't do that anymore either...

Is there a solution for this?

hello, you appear to be using an out-dated alpha version of firefox - please switch to the more stable release version or firefox 33 beta which contains some improvements to session restore: https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/channel/
