I've been tried every thing and I mean EVERYTHING that goes to: Restore from History: 

   * click Firefox button> History > Restore Previous Session
   * click History > Restore Previous Session, if using the Menu Bar

It's not let me click!!

Change home page setting: 

   * Change Options > General tab, change "When Firefox starts:" to "Show my windows and tabs from last time"

I even go to that about:config and follow instruction to make change from (false) to (true) and still when everytime I accidently use [x] instead that File>Exit to close and once I open firefox again it's not save my tabs or groups tabs at all!! What do I miss?? I'm sick and annoying to use that too. Please please tell me what do I miss??

See item #31 "Restoring tabs from a lost session (#tabslost)

http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#tabslost

Whether you change your options to make a choice at the end of the session or not you can use the History menu to restore your previous session, and then additional windows -- even if you don't close Firefox properly.
