How are you shutting down the browser?

Do you use File -> Exit (or Pale Moon button -> Exit) - or do you click the 'X' in the corner of the browser window?

If you're clicking the X, the browser might not be shutting down properly and therefore not remembering the session. See here, especially this post.

If you use "custom settings for history" and you have checked "clear history when PM closes" then on "settings" for this option you have to uncheck "browsing and download history" also perhaps uncheck "forms and search history" because if those 1(2) options are checked then "show my windows and tabs" will not work.

Sometimes it works. Sometimes not.
Does not matter - if i close with quit or close window button.

Ok, now i found and uncheck checkbox "Edit - Preferences - Privacy - Clear history when palemoon closes"
Hope it helps
But it will be good make these settings by default or make console script, which i can execute to restore all my preferences, bookmarks and passwords from/to file.
