Comment (by cypherpunks):

 This depends on the user's privacy preferences. "Remember history" is
 "never" by default (as it should). If you let the browser remember some
 history, you can then set "Preferences->General->When Tor Browser starts"
 to "Show windows and tabs from last time".

 A hack that doesn't require remembering history is temporarily abusing the
 "home page" preference: before restarting set the home page to all current
 tabs (it will record them as "url1|url2|..."); then once restarted, load
 your home page(s) (this will load all the URLs in different tabs);
 finally, reset the home page preference.
