If they do not open exactly as they were, do not close the newly opened window after the folder is pasted, but instead choose to restore the last open session tabs from history. Menu > History > Restore Previous Session > (assuming you only had one window open it will be listed there). The contents are in sessionstore.jsonlz4 and previous.jsonlz4, manual extraction is possible via script, possibly extensions, regex, or manually hunting http addresses from the list, but it requires more effort.
