Just as the name of the option says, its as intended. Its used ex. when you install a new add-on and need to restart. It will keep the current session alive this one restart.

What your looking for is browser.startup.page => http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser.startup.page , or just tools > options > general > "When firefox starts: Show my windows and tabs from last time".

This effectively makes this bug invalid.
