Ok, I was playing a game so I had Firefox close, but I wanted to make a quick search. I had 100+ tabs open, so I didnt want to leave the browser open; so I opened a private window and made the search. But I closed the main tab befour closing the private window. Now I lost all my tabs. No, I cant find the settings(right click) -> restore previows setion. No, they are not in the recentry opened nether closed, since I haven touched them. This is not the first time this happend to me. Some how I remember I was able to get most of them back, now I cant find + this is such a annoying thing. Tanks you all.

Ok, I was able to restore part of them using the last update backup; even so, Im still disgusted by this annoying bug. Not the first time. Also, I didnt recovered all the tabs, but fortunately most of them.
