How to restore a previous session after a crash when it is not available?

We had a power outage, and when my computer is back she just opened a blank session. Restore previous session was not offered as an option - it is greyed out. I tried (probably foolishly) closing and reopening.
Now, I read a lot of ways to restore them, but many of them that I don't really understand.
I found the profile folder and a copy of the sessionstore.
Instructions say to right click and hit properties and then select "previous versions". That's where I come off. I don't seem to have this as an option. There are "General" tabs, "script" of 'security' and 'details' all with several sub-options. I can't seem to find anything that says than previous versions. I even followed a statement that says to do on the record and not on the file, but there is no option called 'previous versions' on either.
I'm (unfortunately) using windows 8.

To use an old sessionstore instead of the current file, first of all, close Firefox. Rename sessionstore.js sessionstore.old file, and then rename the sessionstore.bak -datetime sessionstore.js file. When you start Firefox, if it is set to restore the tabs and windows of the previous session should only pick up. If it is set to start with your home page, use history > restore previous Session.

  • How to restore a previous session after firefox closed and deforested browsing history, is still any chance to get it there?

    Accidentally closed down the pc and firefox did not return with option restore previous session in the first screen even in history-Restory previous session is gray. My settings are own history after closing firefox.
    Y at - it no change to return on my tabs from previous session even browsing history has been cleaned? I'd appreciate your help!

    In general, FireFox will behave in 1 of 3 ways when restarting after a stoppage.

    1 kill Shutdown
    This occurs when the FireFox process ends with a TerminateProcess() appeal or if the process of FireFox crashes. It's a dirty, no cleaning is done. When restarting after this FireFox will show a dialog "well, this is embarrassing' with options to restore the items selected from the previous session.

    2 force Shutdown
    This occurs when another process ask FireFox to shut down cleanly (for example, a reboot of the PC) by a call to ExitProcessEx() and does not ask confirmation of the user. Normally, when this type of shutdown happens, Firefox will just restore all tabs and sessions without asking. However if Firefox is set automatically delete the history on shutdown, it may not. I suspect that this is your case. I would suggest to the FF team remove that history should be ignored in this case, only a stop of the user must delete the history.

    3 judgment of the user.
    That's when said user Firefox close (by selecting exit or by closing all the tabs etc...). Confirmation is requested to close all tabs (if enabled and more than 1 tab is open). When the computer reboots, nothing is restored.

    Unfortunately, if you have enabled clear auto history, there is no way to recover the previous session. I'm sorry.

Now, I just opened Firefox and there not restore my previous session as he usually does, and this option is not available in the menu background. I looked in the profiles folder in the Finder, but I don't think that there is no .bak file to before I restarted today. I had a lot of very important tabs at this session and I really need it back!

    Computer crashed and Firefox don't remember my session. It happened a few weeks ago while I had looked at how to fix and I learned from my mistake and saved the sessionstore.bak file before restarting Firefox. I closed Firefox, deleted sessionstore.js and renamed .bak to js but to start what it does not always restore session. Previous restoration on the history tab still grayed out, about: sessionrestore revealed without tab. I even tried to copy this file and also naming copies as sessionstore-1 & 2. How to operate?

    You can try to restore a previous version of the file sessionstore.js or sessionstore.bak. You must rename the .bak to .js file to make Firefox see this session.

  • How to restore a previous session to a record of old data of Firefox?

    There was a power outage today while I was start of Firefox and the computer shut down instantly. Later, when I tried to open Firefox again, he started glitching, with the option to restore Session only resulting in empty tabs. I refreshed Firefox and now I have an "Old Firefox Data" folder.

    I have a folder of sessionrestore-backups in this folder, a file 'previous.js '. How to use this file (or other folder) to access my lost session? It is possible at all?

    Thanks for any help.

    You can find these files in the sessionstore-backup folder:

    previous.js (cleanBackup: copy of sessionstore.js from previous session that was loaded successfully)
    recovery.js (latest version of the sessionstore written during runtime)
    recovery.bak (previous version of the sessionstore written during runtime)
    upgrade.js-<build_id> (backup created during an upgrade of Firefox)
    

    You can copy a file in the sessionstore-backup folder to the main profile and rename sessionstore.js file to replace the current file (make a backup of the current sessionstore.js).

  • How to restore the previous session from a sessionstore.bak file

    When I tried to open firefox that it automatically updated and deleted the sessionstore.js file. I saved the sessionstore.bak in another case, closed mozilla, changed the extension bak in js in the folder "profiles" Firefox and opened it again, but nothing happened. If the sessionstore.bak file is large 13Ko and seems to contain all the links in my previous session.

    How I force Firefox to start a session by using the information in the sessionstore.bak or .js file, as it should?

    Hello lordsilver2, the method you tried is correct, if does not work maybe the sessionstore.bak (renamed sessionstore.js) is corrupted.

    First make a copy of the file (the renamed sessionstore.js) on your desktop and then try to create a new profile and move the copy in the new profile to see if it works. If the file is corrupt is not sure the books above.

    Thank you

  • How to restore E-Business Suite after server Crash?

    Hi Hussein Snoussi,.


    I have a question that will be useful to other members of the community. How can I restore Oracle E-Business Suite R12 after losing the server that hosts the instance ERP physically?


    I have 2 scenarios here:


    1-existing cold backups of DbTier and AppsTier are available


    I did a full backup of the Apps and Inst files once a week on an external drive.

    I was copy the folder DB (data + DBMS_ORACLE_HOME) after stopping the database cleanly once a week on an external drive. Noting that, here the database is in NOARCHIVELOG mode.


    Hot 2-existing of the database backups are available and I have a backup of the Apps and Inst files (AppsTier)


    The database is archivelog here. I did a hot backup full database once a week, a daily incremental backup and a full backup of the archivelogs once a week. All this on an external drive. Inst files and applications are backed up once a week on an external drive.


    Let something bad happens and we completely lose the physical server. How can I do to restore and recover my R12 Oracle E-Business Suite to a new server?

    I know I have to install the same OS on the new server, but what happens after that?

    Thanks in advance,

    Clamarion.

    Yes, you just need to restore files (assuming that your operating system is Linux/Unix). Once you restore the running AutoConfig files to make sure that everything works as expected. You also have to do mental health controls (check CMs, Workflow, running concurrent programs,... etc).

    Thank you

  • How to automatically restore the session after a crash/update / without asking me if I want to restore it?

    Hello, there are times that my Firefox crashes (well, it happens to all of us who use it to some extent) or updates asking to restart. I would like to know if there is an option that allows you to restore the previous session automatically without asking me even. It would be very useful for reasons. I had this kind of problem a couple of times ending me be upset. Sometimes I misclicked and lost all my important tabs. Other times my firefox has crashed/shifted on after reboot and guess what sound restart still has not even asking me if I wanted to restore my session crashed.

    Thank you in advance.

    Cesarius Hi, I think I understand, but I have not explained completely.

    The browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes preference is to avoid an infinite loop. The default value 1 means an attempt to restore the session automatically once and if it fails (for example, it crashes before it can finish to restore), then display the "embarrassing". You could try to increase the value of 2 or 3 and see if it works on the second or third time. If you still see the screen "This is awkward" after a crash, Firefox still does not make a failback.

    You can also check if there is a file user.js in your profile folder. A user.js file is a file of optional parameters that Firefox reads at startup and uses to override the settings saved in your previous session. Unless you create a user.js file yourself, you can usually just remove it. This article includes a section on the hunt for a possible user.js file: How to fix preferences that will not save.

    Note: by default, Windows hides the .js file extension. Precise work with file names, I suggest setting windows to show all file extensions. This article has the steps: https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/

  • How can I stop firefox trying to restore my previous sessions

    Since I updated to firefox 20.0 I had a problem with firefox. Whenever I start firefox I get a message saying that it is so embarrassing to try but not to restore my previous session and it gives me the opportunity to be close the page and go to the home screen, or to restore my previous session. My preferences has the show my home page selected, every time I close Firefox, I close the page by pressing the red x, and then I put the firefox icon or the tab of firefox at the top of my screen and select Exit. I have reset firefox twice and that no longer works.

    A possible cause can be that you first close all Firefox Windows and then close the Firefox application.

    Some noted that closing of Firefox (Firefox > Quit) while the browser window is always open works for them.

  • Home page search is not working / not Possible to restore the previous Session

    After the last update (version 29), the home page of default Firefox search bar has been completely non-functional. If I hit enter or press search, nothing happens. Another (possibly related) problem is that the button 'Restore previous Session' is never present. I can also restore the previous session by clicking on the option of history (it is always grayed out).

    When you look to the top How to start safe mode, I discovered how to reset Firefox to its default value of the plant. I did it and Voila! Problem solved.

  • Whenever I open Firefox, it restores my previous session without being invited.

    I set parameters so that when I start Firefox to go on my home page, which is just the Mozilla Firefox start page. Despite this option is defined, it always restore my previous session every time I open Firefox.

    One of the possible reasons are a statement in a user.js file. Firefox checks a file user.js at startup, and it replaces your own preferences. This article describes how to check for this problem as possible: How to fix preferences that will not save.

    Another possible reason is if Firefox does not close properly and is still recovering from a perceived fall. To see if this is the issue, you can change what Firefox works after an accident so that instead of automatically display tabs from the previous session, it shows you a list of the tabs. Here's how:

    (A) in a new tab, type or paste Subject: config in the address bar and press ENTER. Click on the button promising to be careful.

    (B) in the search above the list box, type or paste sess and make a pause so that the list is filtered

    (C) double-click the preference browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes and enter 0 (that's a zero) and click OK.

    The next time Firefox starts if you get the screen saying 'it's embarrassing"and display a list of your last session tabs, then the problem is that Firefox crashes on shutdown.

    Does this help with your startup?

  • What can I do to find file extensions, please? I'm trying to restore my previous session on Firefox, & need help file extensions...

    I was told if I found the session files I would be better able to restore my previous browsing sessions... I am using Windows XP PRO SP3 32-bit.
    But I was also told that if I went to a particular place on Microsoft Windows, I know how to get the file extensions, so far I have had no luck with assistance here... hoping someone can help.
    Or... do you something if I activate a restore point which would be an easier option?
    I'm old & not a geek, if need you detailed instructions please

    Thanks in anticipation... I am very grateful to be able to request...
    Kind regards
    Sylvia

    Session files are located in your profile folder and are named sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak. If you have had an accident, FF load automatically and ask you if you want to use the session crashed.

    If you don't have an accident, you can load the last session in FF from the default home page by clicking on the restore session. If you have changed the default home page you can call it by adding on: houses a copy of your FF shortcut. Simply change as follows...
    Then, you will see this...
    Click on restore the previous session.
