Tabs lost when re-opening Firefox

For some time now, when opening Firefox, I do not find the tabs I opened in the previous session. I've checked that the "Open previous windows and tabs" box is checked, but it didn't help. I uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled it from a fresh .EXE file, but that didn't work either. I've searched for resources on the subject but haven't found a solution to my problem. I should mention that I'm not a computer expert and I'm not exactly young any more.

Can anyone help me?

Thanks in advance.

Two days ago while using Firefox my interface/window changed. Whereas before I could have many, many tabs opened across the top of my window, suddenly they are gone. I now have one place where I can put in my new search and no ability to easily access formerly opened tabs. So if I am in my gmail account I can open different tabs/searches and go back and forth between them and my gmail or between search and search. I like to keep open tabs that I want to return to easily - things I haven't completed reading, things I need to get back to to fill out something, etc. Now I can't get to them easily. I know that there is a history, but I am may be wanting to find a tab that I opened two weeks ago and don't remember the date or the name. If they were still opened in this bar across the top (and I am not referring here to bookmarks), I can find them. When I no longer want them opened I delete them. I don't know if this problem is due to the recent Firefox update or if I did something by mistake that caused this. It is making my use of Firefox as my browser very cumbersome and impractical. I also can't spend hours and hours reading through Firefox materials to see if I can find a way out of this problem. Ideally, if I could speak to an actual help desk person, that would be great. I am an 80 year old woman who would like to be able to keep up with all my interests and activities and not being able to use Firefox in the way that I have will really be an obstacle. Thank you for any help that will be offered. Louise

FF 150.0.1 - CTRL + 1 - this shortcut fails to work as designed

It not only does not change focus to TAB no. 1, but also does not focus the tab it does select. That the second part above occurs may be, as far as I know, how it always has worked.
