Try (menu) > File -> Quit

I just did it here, and the two windows ( one with 18 tabs) opened back up
fine.

I think the issue here is that clicking the window close button does not
fully exit the browser only the current window, so naturally it opens only
the last instance closed, with tabs intact.  "File-Quit" on the other hand,
quits the entire program.

I may be wrong, but it seems to work as above...  give it a try.
