Previous tabs lost on next startup, since last update
Ever since the update to Firefox 33.1 (and/or since the Windows 7 update in the week of Nov.11.2014), Firefox will not retain the tabs from my previous session. I have (and have always had) my Options set to load pages from the previous session, but even when I set it to something else and then back to that again, it will only load my homepage tabs when I start up Firefox again. This is extremely annoying, since I like to leave tabs open to go back and read articles or whatever, so I've lost things now that I wanted to refer back to.
Is anyone else having this problem? I don't recall having this exact problem previous to the latest update(s) of Firefox and/or Windows 7.

FYI. Firefox updated to 33.1.1 and this issue has been resolved. It even remembered all my tabs from the time when the problem first started.

You can check for problems with the sessionstore.js file in the Firefox profile folder that store session data.
- Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)

Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost and you will have to recreate them (make a note or bookmark them if possible).
Current Firefox versions also keep backups in the sessionstore-backups folder.
Thanks for your reply, cor-el. I'm not entirely following your instructions though. When I open the directory of that folder, I find sessionstore.bak, dated Oct.30 (which might have been when the problems started; my life has been very overloaded recently so I'm not sure when it started), but no sessionstore.js. I'm not sure what the App Tabs or Tab Groups would be either.
Because my life is currently very overloaded (death of a family member), I don't have the time or energy to deal with a complicated learning curve right now - I just want to get Firefox working the way it was before this bug started. Is this an issue that others are reporting, that will perhaps be fixed in the next update?
Can someone please help me figure out how to fix this? I don't understand the instructions given to me by cor-el. I'm pretty technically savvy but not that much, I guess. This is driving me nuts that it won't retain my tabs from the last session. I've tried changing the settings to load only home pages and reloaded FF, then changing it again, but it just stays stuck on loading only my 5 home pages (the same ones I've had for years). What do I need to do? Or is this a bug that will be fixed? TY.
