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!

It also persists through a reboot, so if you shutdown or reboot with tabs open, it will ask you to restore the previous session when you next start it after the boot.
If you didn’t restore it, but didn’t open any more tabs, you can close it again, reboot, etc, and this option will still work to get your tabs back when you’re ready.
What about if it’s private browsing mode?
They aren’t recoverable after the session ends.
Dang.
If you want them to be recoverable, then you’ve got a bit of a misunderstanding about what private browsing mode is for. Not saving history is basically its whole “thing.”
