My open email tabs disappear after a Thunderbird restart. The option to restore is greyed out. What can I do to avoid the tabs from disappearing?

TB should open with the folder and tabs that were open at last closing. If it isn't, delete session.json from the profile folder, with TB closed (Help/More Troubleshooting, Profile Folder, Open Folder).

Press Alt if the Menu Bar with Help is hidden, or click the 3-bar menu icon at the upper right.
