The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Core::Widget: Win32' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.

I was able to reproduce your issue on Win10x64 using FF builds 121.0-123.0, but according to this link https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1341031 this is the expected behavior in case you close firefox using "close all windows", all windows will be restore only if you use 'Exit' from application menu.
Let me know if that works for you. Thank you.

Monica: no, that SUMO article describes expected behavior on Mac (due to the fact that closing an application and closing all its active windows are customarily two different things on macOS).

:sfoster, is this a dupe of bug 1818971?
