In the past, when Firefox crashed, it would save and restore the tabs I had open.

Now when it crashes and comes back up, there is no option to restore the tabs.

Can you help?

You can check if session restore is enabled.

Hi - tried that. The option to "show my windows and tabs from last time" is grayed out.

Crashes seem to be much more frequent than they used to be. I've had Firefox for years, but I'm about ready to take a break and try something else.  :(
