I recently reinstalled Windows 11, Firefox used to remember which windows I had on which desktops and would open the appropriate windows on Desktop 1, Desktop 2, etc when I restarted my computer. It doesn't do that anymore. Every time I close Firefox and reopen it, it opens every single window on Desktop 1. Weirdly, even if I reorder my desktops, it'll still open every window on whichever desktop used to be Desktop 1, even if the number has changed.

I've tried deleting xulstore.json, refreshing Firefox, and even uninstalling Firefox and deleting all of Mozilla's files in every directory, but it just won't open the windows on the desktop I had moved them to.
