If you use about:home for your home page there will be a restore box just click it or open history and click Restore Previous Session.

If you have other questions about it read this Restore previous session - Configure when Firefox shows your most recent tabs and windows

Firefox now automatically saves open tabs when closing. When you re-start Firefox, do one of these:

  1. Restore from History:
    • click Firefox button> History > Restore Previous Session
    • click History > Restore Previous Session, if using the Menu Bar
  2. Restore from the about:home page:
  3. Change your home page setting:

IMPORTANT:

  • You must close Firefox using Firefox button > Exit/Close (or File > Exit/Close if using the Menu Bar) for this to work properly
  • You must have "Remember my browsing history" selected; click Firrefox button > Options > Privacy (or Tools > Options > Privacy, if using the Menu Bar)
  • You must not clear "Browsing History" when closing Firefox; click Firefox button > Options > Privacy > [X] Clear history when Firefox closes > Exceptions > [ ] Browsing History (or click Tools > Options > Privacy > [X] Clear history when Firefox closes > Exceptions > [ ] Browsing History, if using the Menu Bar)
  • You must not be using Private Browsing or start Firefox in permanent Private Browsing
