My firefox version was just upgraded to ff 35, and now even though I have 'Show my windows and tabs from last time' set as my preference, ff starts with just one window and the home page.

I reviewed the sessionstore.js and it is complete and readable, and so is the recovery.js and recovery.bak.

I tried starting in safe mode and it did not help or fix the issue.

I destructively killed firefox and when I restarted it, I got the 'Session Manager' window showing 7 windows with 474 saved tabs. I selected 'Recover Session' and I got one blank window and no tabs.

I tried killing ff again, and now I have two backup sessions with the same information.

I downgraded to firefox 34.0.5 and had the same issue. I downgraded to firefox 33 and got all my windows back.
