Restoring tabs (supposed to work but won't)

For ages I've had my tabs automatically restored when opening Firefox. But as of the last few days it won't. The old links are saved so I can restore them one by one through history but that's not automatic. And if I click on restoration in History it will bring up a whole bunch of old tabs not neccessarily from the last session.

I'm on the same computer as I've been for over a year, so I don't know what what the problem is. I've searched on it and tried to re-check the box for this function. But it won't apply...

Close Firefox when you're ready to make file name changes. In the sessionstore-backup folder in your profile folder. Find the largest file before the issue happened. Change it to sessionstore.jsonlz4. Move it to the profile folder replacing the current file and then open Firefox. It should restore the session from that time period.

Does it still happen with all extensions disabled?
