Firefox on Mac not restoring session, even when "restore session" has been checked off

I recently changed from Windows to Mac, and while firefox has worked flawlessly on the Mac, the biggest pain in the ass is the fact that session restore does not work. I have the session restore option enabled in settings, but every time I quit Firefox, then re-open it, it opens up a new window. I would have to go into history, recent windows, and click on my previous session to restore it. I have disabled all my extensions, but the problem still persists.

Please help!

I just discovered that if I close Firefox using command + Q, then when I re-open Firefox, my session restores properly. But if I use the X button at the top left hand corner of the window to close my session, then it doesn't restore properly when I re-open Firefox. Could this be a bug on the MacOS client?
