I have "Restore previous session" checked in about:preferences, and it works (my session does get restored if I close and reopen Firefox).

Nonetheless, when I close Firefox, I get a dialog with the waning "You are about to close <N> tabs. Are you s ure you want to continue?".

Previously, this warning would only be shown if "Restore previous session" was disabled (because there's no point in warning the user about their tabs being closed if they'll get them back anyways).

This is a recent regression.
I should add that I found this scary, because it made me think I might lose my 70+ tabs on restart regardless of having "Restore previous session" selected.
