Previous saved tabs turned into blank pages. Firefox.
Hi, I've been using Firefox for a long time and have set it to 'Restore Previous Session' setting. But earlier today as I open Firefox, all of my previous tabs have turn into new tabs instead (blank pages). The amount of tabs I had still remain the same just that they've all been turn into new tabs. I still have the list of websites I've visited in my History but my previous tabs are all saved throughout the year and I've cleared my history before. I would really appreciate anyone's help in getting back my old tabs. Thank you and regards.

In case you are using "Clear history when Firefox closes":
- do not clear the Browsing History
- Tools > Options > Privacy > Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history": [X] "Clear history when Firefox closes" > Settings

Note that clearing "Site Preferences" clears all exceptions for cookies, images, pop-up windows, software installation, and passwords.
It's on Firefox will: "Remember history"
The tabs are there but they've all turned into new tabs, I've set my Firefox to open a blank page when I press new tab, (ctrl + t), And those are the blank pages I see now instead of my previously saved websites. Any idea how to get my previous websites back? Thank you and regards.
Did you check the Settings button in case this button is enabled ("Clear history when Firefox closes" has a tick)?
No it is not ticked. Should I tick it?
Here's a picture of how it is now. Thank you and regards.
