Which doesn’t really matter for 99.99% of users that are sane and only use a couple windows and tabs at a time. Saving things they aren’t actively using anymore as bookmarks and using the browsing history for anything they closed previously but need again.
For the 0.01% of insane but vocal users that never close tabs and/or keep dozens of windows open, that’s a big deal.
But also for normal users it’s annoying as if you’re in the middle of something like filling out a form, clicking onto the next page will tell you you need to restart your browser, and you lose your progress. So yeah, I’m happy about this change.
I do this, but now I have 10k+ bookmarks, fairly organized, but the bookmark manager is trash. It is slow and getting slower. Also, searching history feels like '90’s web search: hopeless if you don’t remember exact keywords.
… i was supposed to be restarting after updating Firefox???
Just restarting Firefox, not the entire system.

ah, then yeah I just have “restore previous tabs” selected and restart the app, no biggie
Private windows are not restored.
That used to fail pretty frequently for me. It wasn’t the worst bug, but it was pretty annoying.
Yeah that’s what those of us that are sane experience, but that only works for the last window closed.
usually the “restart to update” closes all windows at once, then opens them all again.

That was such infuriating UX.

I didn’t come here to be so blatantly attacked like this.
