In summary, the "Restore Previous Session" option has been removed from the toolbar in Firefox due to changes in user behavior and technical limitations. However, you can still easily restore your previous session by going to the History menu or setting Firefox to automatically open your previous tabs upon startup. Unfortunately, there is no way to add the option back to the toolbar, but you can use session manager extensions or the built-in session restore feature as alternatives. This change will not affect your ability to restore closed tabs or windows.
