Is it possible Windows moved that second Firefox window to a different desktop? If you hold down the "Windows" key on your keyboard, then tap and release the Tab key, then release the Windows key, after a few moments, Windows should display a bunch of window thumbnails and at the bottom, a bar to switch between desktops.

So you can bring the two windows onto the same desktop manually, but when it restores your session, Firefox puts them on two different desktops again? Could you try switching from maximized to resizable windows before quitting Firefox -- I'm hoping that will trigger Firefox to update whatever data it is using to place the window during the restore process.
