Can I set up a "Start Page" that has a list of my tabs open in my "Previous Session"?

I often open many tabs at a time on during a session, but may be only heavily invested in four or five. Most times, I shut down my laptop and move to a new location before I've dealt with all the open tabs. When I start a new session later, I'm usually not super-interested in most of the tabs that we previously open. I don't need to read a few of the more obscure Wikipedia pages I was briefly curious about before, or perhaps I dealt with my emails on my phone while on the move.

What would be really useful is, if instead of restoring all my previous tabs, Firefox started with the same page as it does already when the browser crashes: a list of my previous tabs that I could decide whether to restore or not.

Is this feature implementable?

Hi, ya would think so. To submit suggestions for new or changed features, may I suggest: Feedback: https://qsurvey.mozilla.com/s3/FirefoxInput/ or https://discourse.mozilla.org/c/add-ons

Though most is geared to saving, one of these may work for you.

Please let us know if this solved your issue or if need further assistance.

Thanks Pkshadow! Most of those are more geared to saving, yeah. I just wish it was as simple as having the 'crash restore' page be the Start Page. It would be super-elegant.
