Research Protect deleted all my tabs and groups of Firefox

I had about 200 tabs grouped together in about 30 groups of 31.0 Firefox (latest version). The Group appeared when I clicked on the icon to the left of the button "minimize" or press CTRL + SHIFT + E. It is called "your Firefox tabs - group". I also use Xmarks, but I have disabled Synchronization tab recently.

Generally all the tabs and their groups have been saved when I closed Firefox. Today I opened Firefox and all tabs and groups disappeared! Instead, it opens some search engine called Trovi (www.trovi.com) with "bing results. Its the same in Chrome, Opera and IE.

My OS is Windows 8.1 update 1 with all updates installed. My antivirus is Avast! with all updates installed. There was some malware installed of course, but I'm not awake me. I ran a 'full system test' in Avast! latest updates, which is the deeper analysis that I know (without my laptop HP ProBook 4730 s restaring). No viruses were found.

I'm suspecting a program called 'Research Protect' version 2.16.10.61 'Client Connect Ltd. It was installed with PowerISO 6.0 x 64.

I tried to run the system restore, but it seems that all the restore points I ever created are now deleted! I discovered this by opening the system properties-> system-> system restore Protection. However, 'Protection' is 'On' for my system disk.

How can I restore my tabs and groups? It is extremely important for me.

Accidentally, I posted my question twice - my apologies. I marked this as resolved and will continue to ask for help on the other.

  • All my tabs and groups disappeared

    I think I know where are the missing tabs. They seem to be in my sessionstore-backups, in the file upgrade.js file - 20150630154324. I've isolated this file in a folder on my desktop, in order to ensure that it is not to change somehow.

    I tried to rename it, as previous.js, recovery.bak, and recovery.js, but that does not restore my lost tabs. Exactly what should I do to restore it?

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

  • Shockwave Flash has crashed; Firefox now removes all my tabs and groups when closing! Help!

    I sent a crash report. Everything was fine until I clicked on 'X' to close the program. A dialog box pops up asking if I wanted to close multiple tabs I had open. I clicked on cancel, checked my Options: I "When Firefox starts" the value "show my windows and tabs from last time" as always. I tried again to close Firefox and got the same dialogue. I clicked to close. I re-opened Firefox, reopen the now missing tabs, then click on it to close the bottle. Same dialogue.

    Sorry to hear about the accident. You can share your reports of incidents with volunteers of the forum to see if it points to the solution. Please check the last section of the support article "Firefox plant - troubleshoot and prevent assistance fixing crashes" for steps get these IDs crash since the topic: block the page and then after the most recent here.

    Some users who suffer from the stop accidents reported that the problem occurs only with the Red 'X' button and not when they close Firefox by using the menu (either):

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

    Could you try next time instead as a workaround?

  • tabs and groups of tabs are lost

    Closing Firefox and then restarting him, invariably all my tab groups seem to have lost their legs. Reopening of groups of Eve extended or closed (using the Group Manager add-on tab) will not help.

    It is not happened on my previous install but have since upgraded to Kubuntu 14.04 and Firefox 29 (to be precise Firefox to canonical 1.0), I keep losing my tabs and groups of tabs.

    Don't know what mistake I make.

    In case you use "clear history of Firefox closing:

    • do not erase browsing history

    Note that compensation "Preferences of Site" clears all exceptions for cookies, images, pop-up windows, installation of software, passwords, and other specific data from Web site.

    You can check for problems with the sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak files in the profile folder of Firefox that store session data.

    Rename (or delete) the sessionstore.js file and possible sessionstore-# .js files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox profile folder.

    Delete sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and groups of tabs open and closed tabs (back) to get lost and you will have to re-create them (take note or bookmarks if possible).

  • How can I restore my tabs and groups of tabs after a update to version 36.0?

    I work with many tabs when I use Firefox. I keep classified in groups of tabs, which helps to separate the different children to work I do and interests I have. I have been using this environment for years. When I started my job today, Firefox updated to v36.0, and noted the following behaviors:

    1. There is only one group of tabs when you try to display tabs at Panorama, as opposed to a dozen groups;

    2. normally if the hidden tabs (tabs in the same group as the startup group, and not the default page) downloading of content to what the user clicks on, icon, if any, and the name of the page will show on the tab currently, the tabs display 'New tab' and no icon. It seems, however, the number of tabs that exist across all groups of tabs, but are now ghosts this default value, a group of tabs. I must add, however, I do not count the number of tabs, so I can't be exactly. When you click on it, there is just a blank page. It is so strange that Firefox knows they are there but cannot simply attach the address.

    I tried to restore the following files from my backup of Windows Home Server to the folder AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\ .default < gobbletygook >:

    1. in the sessionstore-backups folder, I replaced the files previous.js, recovery.bak and recovery.js (not all of the upgrade ~) with the files yesterday and the day before yesterday.

    When that did nothing, I replaced

    2 sessionCheckpoints.json

    I do not see any file with a recent date that seems to be the one that I have to restore. I should add that I don't see hidden files. I thought about the restoration of the whole of the batch, but didn't know how it would affect the program v36.0 and the profile on 35.0.1 files.

    I have deadlines this week and must immediately restore my environment in order to make these possible. I have no address list on my Web pages to work in IE or other. Any help would be much appreciated.

    On a second note, I had been wondering recently if this tab group environment is an appropriate way to maintain my work environment. Sometimes, during the opening of Panorama, I would get an error saying a script takes too much time, but if I clicked on continue, it would display the groups in a few seconds. I considered bringing it in bookmarks, but it would be tedious and more difficult to access and open several tabs. Initially, I tried tabs groups thinking it was just a matter of maintaining a table of addresses (in tabs) with a name or an ID of tab group. How that might go wrong? Well, there, so it is obviously more complicated than that, and I did not know that upgrades would affect the data of a personal nature. That I should abandon the use of tab groups?

    With the help of information from the user, ptressel, in a post here on the existence of sessionstore.js when version 33 was released, I could easily get my tabs and groups of tabs as follows:

    1. close Firefox and, perhaps, wait a few seconds (30 years?) for any final closing of files;
    2. Check if you have a sessionstore.js file in your profile folder, named as I documented in my original post above.
    3. If this is not timestamped before the discovery of your problem, open the sessionstore-backups folder.
    4. Check if the recovery.js file is properly stamped and, if not, the recovery.bak.
    5. At this point, you are likely to find that none of them is before your problem occurring. If so, open your backups from this folder and go through steps 2 to 4 to find a file before your problem occurring.
    6. When you find a file, copy it to the root of your current profile folder and name it, "sessionstore.js.
    7. Open Firefox. Mine opened upwards as you wish.

    It is a solution for Windows. Sorry I can't comment on other platforms, but I'd bet it's just a copy of file and change of name, it is likely even.

    For Windows users, you can find you must sign out and sign in as administrator in order to access backups. You must not logoff your standard account, but do have Firefox closed as described above.

    Hope that helps.

  • FFox crashed &amp; I hit accidntlly open new sesson instead of restoring tabs. Can I pick up my tabs and groups of tabs?

    FFox crashed, when the window came upward to choose the tabs to close and then to restore the remaining tabs, I accidentally kick start new session so I lost all the tabs and tab groups, the opening of the new window of firefox. In disbelief that this actually happened, I closed then this new firefox window and then again firefox in the hope that it was something of a fluke, but it's still a new session without any of my old tabs or groups.

    Just a thought.

    I don't use Windows much, but there is a recent feature to restore the previous files. IIRC that works on some profile files. It may be worth a try, try to recover files from sessionstore, but ensure you backup anything you have first of all in a safe and different place.

  • Is it possible to save the current tabs and groups so that they can be recharged at any time?

    My Firefox crashes sometimes, and when I start it up again, my groups and tabs that I had are lost, so I need to recreate my history window. Is there a way I can save the groups that I have with the tabs on the inside so that I can retrieve them at a later date.
    "I say that Firefox does not save the whenever I close the browser, so I'm güssing there a file somewhere that contains this information, if I know how is called this file I could save it on my regular schedule and retrieve them if I had to, of course the best solution would be to have a ' save the groups ' & 'Support groups' in the menu.

    Thanks in advance

    (PIN) App tabs and groups of tabs (Panorama) are stored in session data in the sessionstore.js file in the Firefox profile folder.

  • All my tabs and history are missing after my computer updated and rebooted. I had more than 140 tabs open! Help!

    Last night, my computer (Win 7 Dell Portable - Firefox) made an update. It restarted and when I turned it back on, the computer gave me a message that your office told 'prepare' before I could connect. When I logged in, it was almost as if the computer was brand new - the desktop theme was new, he said my mouse was ready for use, and he said that internet Explorer 10 has been updated. I clicked on Firefox as usual, expect that he gives me the screen where it asks me if I want that it restore all my tabs and it was the home page of Mozilla firefox was barebones in the sense that she was not one of my modules, or even the basic, file, edit, view, history, Favorites, tools, help buttons on the screen. When I walked into the story, it was only today listed and no site! I'm panicking and I really need to know how to get everything back to the way it was. I got an add-on of Personas with 36 backgrounds that I loved, and I don't want to have to go back and re-download all my modules, not to mention, there is no way, I would be able to store or to pick up where I left off with all of these tabs, that I need for work. Please help me!

  • Sometimes I want to just close ONLY a window, but Firefox closes all THE TABS, and I don't want to!

    Sometimes, I open multiple windows, especially from my box from Comcast. When I'm through with this window, I will conclude, but leave others more open. FIrefox won't do this anymore when I close the 1 window, Firefox send me a message stating that it is to CLOSE all THE TABS. I DON'T want TO CLOSE all of them, I want to just close the window I close!. This is very annoying, because I have to re - login to all, because FIrefox is 'CLOSE all THE TABS', and everything I want to do to close a window... I'm about to chuck this browser... I tried to find an answer to this in the tools, but was unable to do so. Please help me with this

    Make sure that you do not click the X close in the title bar like that closes the active window with all the tabs.

    If you have the tab bar visible then click the X close this tab or mid, tab, or use the shortcut Ctrl + W key to close the tab.

    If the resulting tab bar hidden then see:
