Sometimes when I accidentally close the Firefox window and I re-open the window again I loose all of my app tabs that I have set up on my tool bar. Why does this happen? I have many app tabs and it takes a while to reset them. Is there also a way that I do not have to reset all my app tabs again?

Make sure that you do not use "Clear Recent History" to clear the "Browsing History" when Firefox is closed because that prevails and prevents Firefox from opening tabs from the previous session.

It is also possible to use the "Show my windows and tabs from last time" setting, that is usually a more reliable way to restore session data.

If you use cleanup software like CCleaner then make sure that Session is unchecked in the settings for the Firefox application.
