Firefox doesn't restore my session even though the box is checked in Options
Also, when I click on the Layers icon in the upper right corner, there is no option to restore the previous session.

Does your Firefox record tab and window history normally during regular use? For example, if you open a new window using Ctrl+n, then close the window, can you re-open it using Ctrl+Shift+n or the menu item here:
- "3-bar" menu button > Library > History > Recently closed windows
- Library toolbar button > History > Recently closed windows
- (menu bar) History > Recently closed windows
Please also make sure Firefox doesn't delete browsing history at shutdown. You can check that here:
- Windows: "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options
- Mac: "3-bar" menu button (or Firefox menu) > Preferences
- Linux: "3-bar" menu button (or Edit menu) > Preferences
- Any system: type or paste about:preferences into the address bar and press Enter/Return to load it
In the left column, click Privacy & Security
On the right side, scroll down to the History section. Usually it says:
Firefox will: Remember history
If it says
Firefox will: Use custom settings for history
make sure this box is not checked:
[_] Clear history when Firefox closes
If it says
Firefox will: Never remember history
that setting is not compatible with restoring your session.
Was everything okay there?

Ctrl+Shift+n works; also, Ctrl+Shift+T after closing a tab. History section says: Remember history
Just discovered that when I open Firefox again, and get one tab on my home page, if I click on recently closed WINDOWS, I see a icon that will open my last session as a new window.

Nevermind. Problem was that a second Firefox window was opened, probably as I was just beginning to use it--I just installed it--and I didn't notice. So I was using, and then closing that second window, and that's why when I opened Firefox again, I got the blank window. When I discovered the old, original window--I have 20 windows open; that's normal--and closed it, when I opened Firefox again, there were all the tabs. I think I'll go have a beer.
Glad you sorted it out. I always close Firefox using the menu to avoid having the wrong windows in a "closed" status:
- "3-bar" menu button > Exit
- (menu bar) File > Exit
- (keyboard) Alt+F then x
Good suggestion. Thanks for your help.
