HELP !!  I screwed up...

I had a session (an "Instance") of Firefox (FF) open (with a LOT of
tabs), looking at a version of CanaKit (CK) Rpi 4. I had another tab
open at the same site looking at another version of CK Rpi4. I wanted to
see what was included in each, compared side-by-side. I grabbed the one
tab and dragged it to the desktop. I now have 2 'Instances' of FF open.
I needed to reboot, and so began closing applications. I closed the
many-tab Instance of FF and forgot I had another Instance still open. If
I closed the 1-tab instance, when I restarted FF, it would bring up the
'last' session it knew - the single tab. I know a little about the
sessions - eg. I can restore tabs from THE previous session (it asks me
if I want to restore), but not sure how this scenario is
logged/registered, much less how to proceed. I don't know if these two
instances are logged as separate sessions or what....

How do I restore all those other tabs?

Help !!

Thanks in advance !!
