I had Firefox 57.0.1 (64-bit) set to “Show your windows and tabs from last time” but when I re-open Firefox, it doesn’t show my windows and tabs from last time – just a blank tab as I have no homepage set - even though it's still set on “Show your windows and tabs from last time”. This started in the past weeks. How do I fix this?

Chosen solution

@dbaron99, no it hasn't changed and if you set to forget all history and clear cache then there will be no tabs or previous sessions to restore. You need to look at your settings to see if something what changed if your loosing all sessions and history.
