Additional information
If i have 5 open tabs and close one of them, usually it works ok...
Having 15 open tabs (like now) the problem usually arises...
With 50 open tabs or more, the problem happens almost always.
So, the problem seems to be related to open tabs quantity and the time it takes to persist / sync closed tabs state.
Maybe related to app performance, device performance, or sync issues...┆Issue is synchronized with this Jira Task

Relevant issue: https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/fenix/issues/22454
This bug is still present in Firefox 118.2.0 build #2015978995 (on Android 13) and has been around for a long time.
As many have reported in the linked Github issues, I also have many tabs open + lots of inactive ones.
Usually, when closing a tab and immediately closing Firefox, it would reopen on the next start.
But now I've noticed that I can't reliably trigger the saving of tabs anymore. Even if I wait 15+ minutes before closing Firefox, the closed tabs reopen again on the next start.

On my hand the bug/behavior also results in lost tabs. Every new tabs created before some point in time are gone, bookmarks aren't saved anymore, etc. It's like the profile got frozen but firefox still operate normally, until either you close it or it crashes. When you come back the old session is restored (with older closed tabs and without new opened tabs). I can tell it's going to operate that way when I notice that every download fail and/or that I can't share the tab with another app because every sharing with icon is gone.
I can't tell if I am experiencing the same bug but I think I am.
