I closed all my regular Firefox windows except for a private window, and then reopened a regular Firefox window, but session restore did not occur. Under the history tab, I don't see the option to restore previous session either.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Have a regular Firefox window and a private Firefox window open
  2. Enable open previous windows and tabs
  3. Close the regular Firefox window
  4. Reopen a regular Firefox window

Expected result: The regular Firefox window that's opened should contain tabs from the previous session
Actual result: The regular Firefox window opens with the homepage
