Firefox>History shows a list of recent websites, so I can see that it's saving my history, but firefox isn't restoring my tabs on startup. alt>t>o>general is set to show my tabs from the previous session. The firefox homepage displays instead, with no option to restore previous session in the bottom right corner, and a greyed "Restore Previous Session" option in Firefox>History As suggested, I've tried deleting sessionstore.jss and sessionstore.bak, and privacy history is set to always store.

This issue started today out of the blue and I can't find a solution.

That was already the case. I left for the weekend and when I came back, the problem was fixed. I'm not sure what the issue was.

Check that you do not use "Clear history when Firefox closes" to clear the "Browsing History"
Doing this will prevent tabs opening from the previous session
