Was playing a video game that was lagging, so like the title says, used Win+Tab to close the main window leaving a private session window open. When I come back to Firefox, I press Ctrl+N to open a new window expecting to see a restore previous session option, but I got nothing. Please help. I had 20-30 important tabs up.

Nevermind. I found the Menu bar by pressing Alt which was much easier to navigate and managed to reopen my precious tabs.

Tabs from a Private Browsing mode window are never stored as part of session data and can't be restored and are lost. That is the risk when you use PM mode and experience crashes or otherwise need to kill Firefox. If the tabs were in the main window then you would have to kill Firefox with that window still open.

I assume that History -> Recently Closed Tabs or Windows didn't come up with anything as well?
