Is there a way to disable the "Restart to Keep Using Firefox" page? (lemmy.ml)

I find it incredibly disruptive every time this page comes up and it's never completely capable of restoring my tabs. Is there any way to disable it so that it will instead update when I choose to restart Firefox?

You can enable saving the tabs when closing Firefox.

It is on and has been for years but I still lose all my tabs regularly.

Is it because of Sync? Container Tabs? I don't know

If I'm not too mad next time, I will try to find out why I lose them but my instinct is to reopen right away the tabs that I need the most.

I see. I am using Firefox like this for years and it works for me and I thought it would for everyone else by just enabling the option.

As said, you could also look into the History menu to restore last session or closed window. And if all of this does not work for you, either look into an alternative plugin (should be the last option in my opinion) or simply save all open tabs in a temporary bookmarks folder before restart / update. Such a manual solution is always ugly, but if nothing else helps...
