How can I make Firefox restore my tabs from a previous session consistently?
I really need Firefox to restore the tabs from my previous session every time I open it. I have it set to do so on the General tab under Options. I also made sure that it says "Firefox will: Remember History" under the Privacy tab. However, when I try to close it, a window pops up that says "You are about to close # tabs...etc." Then, when I open Firefox again, all of my tabs are gone (even my app tabs, which I have to replace every time). How can I fix this?

exit firefox and restart.
if this don't work maybe you should try this:
restore the default(firefox) as your home page and you can select Restore Previous Session from the default home page by pressing the button.

Make sure that you do not use "Clear Recent History" to clear the "Browsing History" when Firefox is closed because that prevails and prevents Firefox from opening tabs from the previous session.

It is also possible to use the "Show my windows and tabs from last time" setting, that is usually a more reliable way to restore session data.
