Why won't Firefox save my tabs?

When I go to 'tools' and click, 'start private browsing session', when I close the browser, the tabs are never saved. When I go to 'tools' and click 'stop private session' when I close the browser, the tabs are never saved. The browser will never save my tabs. After I close the browser, when I open it again, I see only the Firefox page. Please help me. Thank you.

Private Browsing doesn't save browser history, so there isn't any history to save when you close Firefox and then there's no Tab history to restore.
