Saved Tabs in Firefox Web Browser no longer in effect?

@jimkvg, for some reason you keep replying directly to me instead of
the list, I have included your post in this reply to the list.

No idea what you mean by this.

  When I was searching, I stumbled upon 'Firefox

In firefox, Edit > Preferences

Again no idea what you are talking about, sorry. I just cannot follow
what you are saying.  When I click on the cross it opens a new tab
saying New Tab in the tab title, I don't see Start(1) or noname(1) or
anything similar, and what you mean by "I had to double-clicked each
tab to get the names of the bookmarks that I elected" I have no idea.
If you want more help you will have to describe exactly what you do
and what happens.

I am doing my best but not having much success.

Did you try the suggestion from previous post of selecting (in
Firefox) Edit > Preferences > General and for 'When Firefox Starts'
select 'Show my windows and tabs from last time'.
