Depending how you close firefox depends on whether the App Tabs restore.

Actual Results:  
App tabs vanish.

I've read cor-el response and I agree, this is not a bug.
If you close Firefox from "Quit", the apptabs remain.
If you close Firefox from "x" the session remains and if you "quit" , Firefox restarts in home page because you closed the session, loosing the apptabs from that session.

So , in my opinion this is not a bug. 
Can you please change the status of this bug tu Resolved Invalid.
thx

Marking VERIFIED for now. However, it's debatable whether App tabs should exist independent of sessions. That discussion is taking place on another bug (I can't seem to remember the number right now though).
