Why won't my tabs load automatically?

I just updated Firefox & in the previous version, my tabs would load automatically when I opened my browser session. Also, in the previous version, in "options" (under the "tools" drop down), there was an option I could choose to have my tabs load automatically. However, in the newer version, I don't see this option & the tabs won't load automatically. What's going on? Please tell me there's something I can do to make them always load automatically. Thanks.

The "Don't load tabs until selected" setting was removed in Firefox 47+ to prevent performance issues with restoring all tabs automatically especially in case multi-process tabs is enabled. You can modify the related prefs on the about:config page in current releases if you are willing to accept possible performance issues.
