Is 'lock' the new browser from FFox? I want my old FF returns with my tabs. Cannot restore!

Just logged in my firefox browser to find that my tabs was not loaded and I was faced with a new browser called FFox pocket, I've never heard of! Can I deduce that this version of pocket is the browser now, I have to use and must therefore start from scratch to reload all my tabs? It would have been nice to be informed on such a radical change, or at least we could consider a choice to choose this new update of the browser when it would be convenient for the user.
Basically, I want that all my tabs back and I wasn't able to do a restore because this option has been disabled.
It is very annoying because I'm going on vacation tomorrow and do not need such a dispute as I had important tabs 'open' to use for planning, etc.
So I hope you can advise me on how to get my tabs back either (I assume that my favorites are still active?) or do some sort of reset.
Thanks in advance for your help and I hope to hear from you soon.

Sorry for the delay in responding. You mustn't lose update of Firefox tabs. I hope that you were able to use your history to find your way back to essential sites, or if you access this remote response, you can try this:

Open the settings folder (AKA Firefox profile) current Firefox help

  • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > troubleshooting information
  • (menu bar) Help > troubleshooting information
  • type or paste everything: in the address bar and press Enter

In the first table of the page, click on the view file"" button.

In the window that launches, scroll down and double-click on folder sessionstore-backups . Save all the files here to a safe place, such as your Documents folder.

I am particularly interested in finding would be most recent who follows this naming scheme:

Upgrade.js -build_id - for example - upgrade.js - 20150525141253

This file must contain the windows and tabs in Firefox session which was live during your last update. This file is not human readable, but can be 'paid' for your current session history file restore the session of that time.

If this sounds to it's worth a try:

(1) upward to the main floor of the profile folder (whoever opened since Firefox, until you have clicked on in sessionstore-backups).

(2) leave this window open, go back to Firefox and:

(A) as appropriate, to bookmark the tabs that you will want to come back (Ctrl + d to different tabs, or save all of the tabs in the window, right-click on a tab > bookmark all tabs)

(B) then exit Firefox completely using either:

  • "3-bar" menu button > button "power".
  • (menu bar) File > Exit

Pause while Firefox finishing its cleanup, then rename sessionstore.js to something like sessionstore.old.

Note: by default, Windows hides the .js extension. To make sure that you look at the files I mentioned, you can disable this feature. This article has the steps: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/show-hide-file-name-extensions

(3) copy the upgrade.js - 20150525141253 (or newer of same named file) in the profile folder and rename sessionstore.js

(4) start Firefox back up again. You may need to use history > restore previous Session if Firefox does not automatically restore windows and tabs.

Success?
