In case you're mad at yourself for closing your precious window with all the right tabs opened, note that Firefox allows to reopen recently closed windows (jlai.lu)

I generally have a "home" Firefox window with my most used tabs pinned. Sometimes I close it before another window, so I was frustrated to "lose" it and having to redo my pins. But recently I discovered this feature. Joy!

This is literally a thing? You just go to options and tick General -> Startup -> Open previous windows and tabs. It is quite literally the first option in the interface. I only mean to be a slight bit rude, but did you not even take a cursory look through the options?

Don't worry about being rude. Spreading demeaning misinformation about free software, especially one as important for the Web as Firefox, should be frowned upon.

Personally, I'd like it to be able to do it sometimes without having to set it to happen every time. In other words, I'd like a "restore previous session" UI element in the history interface.

I should probably look into some of the extensions folks in this thread are talking about.
