I go to:

General

Startup

I have the box selecting Open previous windows and tabs.

I close the window.

FIREFOX DOES NOT EVER SAVE MY PREVIOUS TABS. When I select

History

Then select: Recently closed tabs

Then select: Reopen all Tabs

NOTHING HAPPENS.

Yes, I'm a bit peeved at this because whenever I am stupid enough to close Firefox, I lose all my tabs. And it ain't just a couple tabs.

HELP??

Yes, 1st image is one of my desktops.

I see that your browser is being managed. see copy of your screenshot Have a look at this link to remove that. https://winaero.com/remove-your-browser-is-being-managed-by-your-organization-from-firefox/

This morning Firefox failed to restore my session, but I know the process to restore it session manually. See this link and post similar screenshot of your sessionstore-backups folder.

I read your explanation in the link you posted.

I see that it's a real P.I.T.A.

I'm going back to Chrome and uninstalling Firefox.

Yeah, I have no idea how to manually restore a session in Chrome, because i can't recall a time not being able to restore my windows. This has been a long time issue with Firefox. You can mark this as resolved and have a nice day.

I never asked you how to restore history/sessions/tabs in Chrome because I never had this problem with Chrome. I stated that I was moving back to Chrome and uninstalling Firefox. If this is a known problem, then perhaps Mozilla should take a look at fixing it before they lose even more users. This issue is NOT resolved, nor does it look like it ever will be.
