It could be that they've decided the functionality is better handled as 
an add-on, since one seems to exist. However, I just tried it and it 
doesn't seem to work either. In the preferences I'd selected "at startup 
'Show my windows and tabs from last time'" and "at shutdown 'backup the 
current session'" but I just got the default start page when I restarted 
Firefox.

I then tried the settings button | History | Restore Closed Windows and 
noticed that it actually opened 3 new Firefox windows. One was a 
duplicate single-tab startup session, another was an earlier session and 
the third was the session I'd just closed. So I apparently just need to 
close extra windows....
