Firefox isn't restoring my tabs from my previous session

Every time I close Firefox, it warns me that it will close tabs. I haven't altered any settings.

My "When Firefox starts" setting is still "show my windows and tabs from last time".

I only have one window open.

My "Always use private browsing mode" and "Clear history when Firefox closes" are both unchecked.

I can use history to restore my previous session, but that's inconvienient and not how it was working 24 hours ago.

The first thing I did was check my settings.

But it's fixed now. I had to exit via the menu on the top right, and reopen. Now it works fine.

Did you look at your settings? It's not you but maybe a update in FF changed but unless you look there to see your not going to now.
