Where is that setting?

I use FF5 as well. I'm sure I've seen that setting but I can't find it now.
I know that if FF crashes, or if we force a close down from the Task Manager, Firefox will re-open with all tabs and windows that were previously opened. But other than setting up 'multiple home pages', I am not sure anything else would work.
Ahh, just found it! General tab, "Startup", "When Firefox starts Show my windows and tabs from the last time".
Try a test. Under the Privacy tab remove the tick for "Clear history when Firefox closes".
I'm thinking that, without History, and without "Multiple Home Pages", Firefox cannot recall other tabs and windows except the home pages already defined.

"Note: In order to get your tabs and windows back from the previous session, you should close Firefox from the menu: At the top of the Firefox window, click on the Firefox button (File menu in Windows XP) and then click Exit.
If you close each window or tab, only the final window or tab that you closed will be available when you restart Firefox."
I tried all the above and no dice

Glad your issue is resolved now.
I haven't upgraded yet. I tend to wait until others have noted all the bugs. Thank you for testing it for me, 
Mark
