Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:67.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/67.0

Steps to reproduce:

There are many ways to reproduce the bug,
simplest is to start firefox, open many tabs quickly and just cut power of the machine quickly.
Restart pc, run firefox previous session cannot be restored, in case It offers to recover it,It perform the session restore of crashed session, According to me it should still be able to restore the earlier session(ie the session earlier than crashed one).

Actual results:

either
session recovery does not work, and as the session restore.

or
session recovery of crashed session takes place, but the earlier session to the crashed session cannot be restored.

Expected results:

Browser Should prompt to recover the crashed session, and still it should be able to restore the session to earlier version than crashed session.
like
Session A->(close)->(start)->session B->(crashed)->(restrat)->recover B-> Be able to recover session A*

Hi jitendra.shah90, thanks for filing this bug!

This is a really specific request and you're asking us to implement smart heuristics to determine the last session that a user intends for us to save. This is really hard and the investment cost to implement this feature severely outweighs any other work we might do on this component, which we don't have.
At this point, we'll be keeping the current behavior.
