Firefox with recent update will not open last tabs even though that the setting is checked.
What is going on? Before, I was able to close firefox with the close button. Now, anytime i do that, when i reopen firefox it will not reopen the tabs. Sometimes I will be able to type in the search bar and almost get the windows to switch.
This is so annoying, ive already lost a lot of tabs i will not be able to get back.

Use one of these to close Firefox if you are currently doing that by clicking the close X on the Firefox Title bar, especially if you have multiple windows or Private Browsing windows open to prevent losing tabs in unnoticed windows.
- "3-bar" menu button -> Exit (Power button)
- Windows: File -> Exit
- Mac: Firefox -> Quit Firefox
- Linux: File -> Quit
In case you use "Clear history when Firefox closes" or otherwise clear history.
- do not clear the "Browsing history"
- Settings -> Privacy & Security
Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history":
[X] "Clear history when Firefox closes" -> Settings - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/delete-browsing-search-download-history-firefox
- using "Clear history when Firefox closes" in Firefox 102+ honors exceptions and keeps cookies with an allow exception, previous versions removed all cookies
- clearing "Site settings" clears exceptions for cookies, images, pop-up windows, and software installation and exceptions for passwords and other website specific data
