Firefox doesn't correctly remember window positions

Details
User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:64.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/64.0
Steps to reproduce:
Snap Firefox to the side of the screen by dragging it all the way to the left or right edge. Window will then snap the application to the left or right half of the screen.
Close Firefox and start it again.
Actual results:
After Firefox starts again, it is no longer snapped. It doesn't remember its state of being snapped. This is especially annoying when working with multiple FIrefox windows snapped to either side. Windows will then make a vertical divider between the two - that will not work after restarting Firefox.
Expected results:
In addition to remembering window positions, and minimized/maximized state, it should also remember whether and where it was snapped, making (re)starting less of a hassle.

Martijn, did this start happening for you recently, since Firefox 64 or can you reproduce this with an earlier version as well?

Martijn, without more information I'm afraid I can't really pinpoint where the issue may be, let alone look for a resolution. I'm closing this bug for now, but if you at any time can come back with more details, feel free to re-open and I'd be more than happy to take another look!
It started happening with Firefox 64, because that's when I started to work with a monitor big enough to start using snapping.
I have no idea if it worked earlier. I suspect it doesn't.
The resolution WORKSFORME suggests that Firefox does actually remember snapped state and restores it when restoring the session correctly. Is that the case? Does it actually work for you? Because even a totally vanilla installation of Firefox on a fairly vanilla Windows 10 does not show this functionality to be working.
