lifehacker.com — Rather than displaying a modal dialog that requires you to restore your old session or start from scratch, Firefox will display an about:sessionrestore tab in which you can selectively disable any tab or window from the previous session before you continue with the restore.

I've lost count of how many times I could have used this. This is one of those, "Duh... why didn't I think of that idea?!?"

So... when do they get around to letting me use the older non-awesome bar? I'm really really tired of typing the letter C and getting every dot-com I've been to.

Maxthon copied this from Firefox about a decade ago. Oh, wait!

Opera has done that since the early 2000's...And soon, Firefox is going to get the credit one more time...

Though, for now they have the Google dollars, maybe you should donate to another open-source project.

So if you happen to X it when FF has deemed to disregard your preferences... does it keep the tabs now instead of dumping them?? Ironically you can still use File | Exit to have it work as expected. But this doesn't really help. FF downloads all those tabs content upon relaunching... unlike Opera, which uses cached versions. The result is Opera has all the tabs(even dozens) reloaded in under a second... FF... wait and see!
