Hi,

So If I get it correctly, you've opened some tabs, cleared history but you didn't close the tabs themselves, you've just quit the browser directly.
The restore previous session refers to the tabs that were open at the moment the browser is exited so I think this is expected. (If you clear history with no tabs currently open, restoring previous session just opens the about:newtab)

I'll set it as NEW to get an opinion on this though.

Thanks for reporting!

That's correct.
