By default, Firefox should remember/restore all the windows that were open at the time it crashed. Actually, I don't know whether a force quit is a crash or uses sequential close -- with sequential close, some of the windows will need to be reopened. Could you check either:

  • "3-bar" menu button > History > Recently Closed Windows
  • (menu bar) History > Recently Closed Windows

And see whether you can get the missing windows back from there?
