I have lost my tabs for the umpteenth time. Session restore only works if your kids hit the restore button. Otherwise, a new session gets started. FRUSTRATED!!!
Even though I have my settings set to the "correct" settings to hopefully prevent the lost tabs problem, you still have to be careful in order to prevent the loss of tabs. I have lost all my research again and again... If for whatever reason FF gets closed the wrong way, and then the "restore session" button doesn't get clicked when you re-open, and then you happen to open any further tabs, suddenly you can never get back to all your previous tabs. I have scoured the internet for solutions to this problem, looked for ways to get them back, and ways to prevent this from occurring. I Have set my browser to the recommended settings. I have tried to restore my sessions. I don't understand WHY cannot the tab feature be made easy to save???? I get all these tabs set up... and then, WHAM! suddenly they evaporate, never to be seen again. love the Tab system. It's visual. It's relatively easy to navigate. I don't forget they are there, and they are effortless to create...unlike bookmarks. Why in the world can't I give a tab group a name and then have it be permanently available, like a group of bookmarks that I can create and access at will? Why must it be that I have to search the internet for ways to restore them, and then the recommendations are geared only to computer literate people able to extract them from the bowels of their computer memory in some obscure and confusing procedure?!? I have looked at and installed numerous add-ons in the hopes of solving this problem and have not found a satisfactory solution. It seems like there are tons of other people out there who wish for this exact same thing, What is the hang-up with this???

If you only close one window at the time then only the last closed window will be restored and the default is only to restore three closed windows.
Use "Firefox > Exit" (Windows: Firefox/File > Exit; Mac: Firefox > Quit Firefox; Linux: Firefox/File > Quit) to close Firefox if you are currently doing that by clicking the close X on the Firefox title bar.
This will ensure that you close all open windows at once and close Firefox properly.
Firefox has the ability to bookmark all open tabs, in each window separately. It's not a "session manager", but if it's the same set of tabs you want opened at the same time all the time, you might consider using that feature.
Right-click a tab and select Bookmark All Tabs... and then give the folder a name. When you want to open all those tabs simply middle-click that folder or right-click that folder and select Open All in Tabs.
As far as the "problem" you described......
- You really should have a separate logon user account for your kids or for each of the other users of that PC, so they wouldn't be using your Firefox installation. That is a basic feature in Windows that goes back to the days of Windows 2000.
- Firefox saves the previous session, but if that session isn't restored during the "current session" it is gone. That's the way it is designed to work. A temporary session save feature.
- To save a session or multiple session try using a "session manager" extension to "extend" what comes with Firefox. Here's two extensions with a session manager feature for your consideration.
