It was too much of a mess and I had to resort to using different windows in the end (but I have to be careful when I have to close Firefox and select quit from the menu instead of using the title bar button)

I miss Panorama so much

Wait, it acts differently if you do that?

Yeah, "restore session" will restore whatever you had open the last time you quit Firefox. Closing windows one by one will only quit at the last window, so that's what it restores. If you want to close Firefox and have it restore multiple windows, you have to use "Quit".

Yeah. If you close an individual window you’ll lose it, but you can find it again in the history menu (from the re-open closed window submenu)

If you use the quit command from the global menu (on any window) they’ll get restored next time when you launch it.
