I am running firefox 38.0 on Ubuntu 14.04. I had two opened firefox windows on two different workspaces, lets say firefox-1 was opened in workspace-1 and firefox-2 was opened in workspace-2. Before restarting the machine, I have closed firefox-2 in workspace-2 first and then closed the other. After the restart when I opened the firefox it restores the session from firefox-2 (but I was assuming it should also do the same for firefox-1).

How do I recover both sessions from those two different firefox windows ?

Firefox will only resume the last closed session. If you have opened multiple windows and move one of them to another work space then it is still the same Firefox instance.

You need to use "Firefox/File > Quit" to close all open windows in Firefox if you are currently doing that by clicking the close X on the Firefox title bar. The latter only closes the current window and that would require to check for "History > Recently Closed Windows" (default is 3 windows).
