It never work on my Mac OS X 10.8 or 10.11, even after a fresh installation of the OS X. Meanwhile, it works while on my PC, windows 7.

The version is 44.0

"Restore Previous session" is grey.

If I chose the "Restore closed tabs", it will open a new window with all tabs from last time.

Please let me know the solution, thank you!

Make sure that you do not close open windows before closing the Firefox application, but close the Firefox application (Firefox > Quit) while the window(s) are still open. Otherwise you only close the current window and Firefox won't restore that window on the next start. In case of the latter check for "History > Recently Closed Tabs/Windows".
