I often use two firefox windows each with several tabs opened

Problem is when I quit in this state sometimes only one of those multiple windows gets opened on the next launch

To quit I do a `ctrl + q` or right click `Quit` from launcher bar

Is there a setting to tell firefox to always relaunch with the same set of windows ?

I use sync and this happens when using the same computer for the exit then relaunch of firefox

firefox release 112.0a1 (2023-03-05) (64-bit)

Ubuntu 22.04

When I turn on and log into any of my laptops, the windows that I had open before are always there because I never close Firefox. If you are closing the browser, it makes since for the last window that was closed to be the only one to come back. I would assume this is the same behavior in all browsers. Test another browser and see for yourself.

If you want those windows to be there when you login, do not close Firefox unless you have limited resources. You can also bookmark the open tabs by right clicking on 1, Select All Tabs, then right click again, and click Bookmark Tabs.
