Hello,

I have reported in 1389245 this bug as well as you mentioned.
Happy that someone else got it :-) I am not alone.

This bug is quite important I think: have reproduced it ?
This is the first time it happened to me after an upgrade!

Is the anyway to recover those tabs after this upgrade if we don't launch firefox (waiting a new Firefox release which would fix this issue)? Or those tabs are lost even if we don't launch Firefox ? 

Generally speaking, the tabs restoring on Android was not as handy as it is on Windows platform for example.
 As a strong feature request: is it possible to have an "restore previous session" option somewhere in order to have something equivalent to what we have on Windows platform ? Or to have access to session.js or something like that on android platform ?

Best regards.
