In MSIE, if you did not close the browser by clicking the X, and your computer shuts down, when you power up again and open the browser, it will ask you if you want to restore your last browsing session. Firefox closed unexpectedly and did not ask me this! Now I've lost the links I had open and did NOT want to lose!!!!!!! How can I get my last browsing session back???

Can you find that previous session in "History > Restore Previous Session" or are there any recently closed tabs or window?

Click the orange/gray Firefox button to see the History item if the menu bar is hidden.
