When I close firefox, it does NOT save my tabs :( BUT when I kill -9 <firefox-pid>, it saves my tabs so when I boot it up, I can click the restore button. What gives? I only see this on linux :(.

I am on ubuntu, specifically....

Make sure that you do not use Delete browsing, search and download history on Firefox to clear the 'Browsing History' when you close Firefox.
