Can TB 45 save open tabs from previous TB session, or only display the "Home" tab?

With TB 38.nn, each restart of TB would remember the tabs which were open from the previous session.

However, having upgraded to TB 45.0, the new default behaviour appears to be to display the "Home" tab only, and this (default) behaviour is described here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/message-tabs

Is it possible to configure TB 45 to behave in the same way as TB 38 with respect to open tabs, i.e. for TB 45 to re-open tabs from the previous TB session?

Chosen solution

For anyone who may be interested, I did some further investigation on my TB configuration, disabling all of my extensions, and re-enabling them in small groups. In this way, I was able to identify the extension Mnenhy 0.8.6.1-signed.1-let-fixed.1-signed as somehow preventing open tabs being carried forward between TB sessions.

Disabling the extension resolved this problem for me.

Hope this may be of use to others.

Thoikix, were you able to recover your missing tabs? You did not specify whether your method restored the tabs.

For my situation, it is more important to recover the missing open tabs along the top than to update. In fact, I briefly considered a reversion to the previous level of TB in order to recover the tabs, somehow.

However, by the time I discovered the TB tabs were missing, I also had created much additional work in other applications, work which would be lost in a system restore.
