Firefox open tabs from the last session, if so setting set and in your case it corrupts hidden .mozilla file. This is solved by creating a backup of your bookmarks and add-ons eg. FEBE. Wipe .mozilla directory, picks up Firefox and install FEBE and restore bookmarks and add-ons or install add-ons. .
No, with respect, you missed the point. I am entirely aware of how to set the Settings to open the previous session at next start, & that's exactly how i set it. My point was that there was something weird with that specific version of FF as installed in my OS, because FF did NOT obey my settings. Furthermore, i did not make ANY changes to my settings before the latest updated FF arrived, & lo & behold, after the upgrade it resumed behaving correctly. Thanks anyway.
