I feel like this feature is a good idea that has come too late for me. I already "group" stuff via windows. That'll be a hard habit to break.

Do you use an add-on to prevent that from wiping out all but one window's worth of tabs when you close them? That's what originally made me get a tab grouping addon, after losing a ton of tabs when I broke some out into their own window and then later closed the main tab window before the secondary one. Realized immediately what happened but it was already too late to save that entire generation of precious tabs. Who knows what articles I didn't feel like reading at the time but was totally going to read later I lost forever.

Ctrl+Q terminates the whole program at once and you don't lose any windows.

Oh btw, just like Ctrl+shift+t reopens closed tabs, so Ctrl+shift+n reopens whole windows, with all tabs.

Interesting, though you can also just keep pressing Ctrl+Shift+T and it'll eventually restore entire windows in the reverse order of closure, whether tab or window.

I either let the OS close firefox and then it opens all windows when I next start firefox. Or I use ctrl+shift+n to reopen the last closed window

I close all windows at once via the Quit feature, then it re-opens all of them. You can trigger that from the menubar (press Alt to unhide it) in the "File" menu at the bottom.
You can also re-open a closed window from the "History" menu in that menubar.

These might also be available in the hamburger menu. I've got that hidden, so can't check easily...

I miss Panorama so much!
