When firefox starts, it does not remember tabs from previous session

As the question states, with this newest iteration of Firefox, tabs from a previous session will not reload in my browser. I have checked the option that says "When Firefox starts: show tabs and windows from last time". Also, I've toggled FF to remember my browser history. Anyone else having this problem?

You may have corrupt sessionstore file(s).

Type about:support in the address bar and press enter.

Under the page logo on the left side you will see Application Basics. Under this find Profile Folder. To it’s right press the button Show Folder. This will open your file browser to the current Firefox profile. Now Close Firefox.

Locate all sessionstore file(s). Then rename or delete them. Restart Firefox.

Having more than one version of a program may cause issues. You must remove the older programs. Then get the current full installer.
