Procedure 1. Open Firefox iOS 2. Open some pages 3. Force-close the app 4. Open Firefox again

Expected result - The tabs that previously opened is kept and possible to access

Actual result - The tabs exists, but displaying default new tab page, cannot visit the page - pageback/forward is not working - All tabs are affected

note - By pressing down pageback/forward, there is history which says "internal://local/sessionstore?url=..." is generated. - There are some people on my local app store (JP) complaining the same issue. - After erasing and reinstalling the app, this issue happened again.

The app is almost unusable because of this bug.

I think this is similar issue. [Long press > New Tab doesn't restore tabs after Firefox crashes | Firefox for iOS Support Forum | Mozilla Support](https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1414623)

Yes! Thank you for explaining this. I have been having this same issue for a while now and I’m about to give up and use another browser. Sometimes hard closing the app worked, but it hasn’t the last couple of times so I don’t know any consistent work around or solution. I only have two or three tabs open usually too, so it’s not an excessive amount causing it to crash or something.
