Panic Button issues with restoring browser session

There is an issue with Panic Button not being able to fully restore the Firefox browser session when the Panic Button action is set to "Hide and Replace."

If there was more than one browser window open when the Panic Button action was triggered, only the first browser window will be restored when clicking the Panic Button again, and the window showing the temporary replacement web page isn't closed.

This isn't happening if there was only one browser window open at the time the Panic Button action was triggered.

This issue is confirmed to be happening in Firefox 71. Users on Firefox 68 ESR aren't affected.

If you find yourself having more than one browser window open on a regular basis, you may want to consider changing the Panic Button action to "Minimize All Windows" to work around this bug.
