I have multiple tabs open ... some of these are pinned ... when I restore, only the pinned ones plus one or two others are restored ... I have edited my toolbar to include a Restore add-on called Session-Sync to provide a solution for me but the Firefox Restore would be preferrable

Hmm, usually it is just the pinned tabs, or it's all the tabs. It's not normal to be missing a few tabs here and there when Firefox restores the window.

Could you check whether either of these are available (not hidden or grayed out):

  • "3-bar" menu button > History > Restore Previous Session
  • (menu bar) History > Restore Previous Session

If they are missing or grayed, are there any whole windows available to restore using either:

  • "3-bar" menu button > History > Recently Closed Windows
  • (menu bar or Alt+S) History > Recently Closed Windows

Thank You jscher, The restore previous session is hidden as in your point 1. Recently Closed Windows does show an entry, but it only includes the pinned tabs

Could you check the "Open Tabs" panel of Firefox View to see whether there is a non-visible window with missing tabs? Firefox View - Access pages from open tabs, recently closed tabs, tabs from other devices and browsing history

If there aren't any closed windows, I don't have a theory.
