How to disable restore session when reboot computer

I disable my option "Restore previous session" and it works fine if i close my firefox.

But if i do not close my firefox and reboot my computer directive, the session will restore at next startup.

Obviously when i reboot my computer, I don't want to see my tabs anymore, but I failed to find any setting to do so. I also find someone say to set `browser.sessionstore.resume_from_crash` in `about:config`, but it doesn't work, and I don't think it is the proper way to solve this problem because reboot is not crash.

OS: linux firefox: 107

There is a built-in integration with a signal from Linux that the user is restarting the system which sets a flag to restore your session at the next Firefox startup. Unless something changed in recent months, there is no simple setting to turn that off. There is a more complicated option in this thread: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/1386518

Thanks Jscher! I did hope something can change though :) Maybe there are many people like me do not want to close every application when turn off the device.
