Are you not quitting Firefox before login out/rebooting?
Of course, doesn't everyone?
If not you have to turn the "this is embarrassing message"
of in
Firefox.

Interesting. I tried that and it does turn off the message, however ...

... I now find that the situation overall is definitely worse than
before:
Before:
* Firefox gives the "embarrassing" message, but on clicking the button
it restores both its windows. I then have to move one window to a
different desktop where it should live.
* Chrome doesn't start and gives no error message.
* Evolution, Dolphin and qBittorrent all start correctly on various
desktops.
Now:
* Firefox doesn't start at all. When I start it manually it only starts
one window, not two, i.e. it has lost information.
* Evolution doesn't start. When I start it manually it does so on its
own desktop.
* Everything else as before.
Clearly the change to FF can only have affected FF itself. The other
changes are presumably because I just "upgraded" to the latest Plasma.
So in summary, a very definite regression regarding session restore.
