Only one window, NOT ALL, restores from the previous session
Hello,
I've made the appropriate selection to "Open previous windows and tabs" on startup. I understand this to be plural for both window and tab instances. However, only one window reopens. I would like all windows from the previous session to reopen. How can this be resolved?
Win10 21H2
Thanks for your help!

When the browser closes, it records all the tabs/windows that were open at the time. Note: Some have closed a tab/window before closing. This means that tab/window is not recorded.
You may have corrupt sessionstore [v56] sessionstore.jsonlz4 file(s).
Delete all sessionstore* files and the sessionstore-backups folder.
Don't delete the files if you need to rescue any data from them, just move them out of the profile folder to some location where Firefox doesn't look for them. You can try to read out their contents using this tool: https://www.jeffersonscher.com/res/scrounger.html
