With firefox, I have found that, with multiple windows of multiple
tabs, open, if either I use File -> Quit, or, I have to do a hard
system reboot (turn off the power, and after letting the HDD stop
turning, boot up again, because interrupts have been disabled by a
hanging), then, when running Firefox the next time, selecting Restore
Previous Session, the session is restored, with the relevant tabs in
their relevant positions, in their relevant windows.

This works on both firefox on UbuntuMATE 16.04.6 and on UbuntuMATE 19.10.
