Restart Firefox and getting back all of the previous tabs

Thus, every once in a while, I have a lot of tabs open, FF freezes and it restarts or Windoze requires a reboot. Very good except when one an update of FF is staged, or as this time I lose my tabs of 30-40 because apparently, I need to know that the Pocket came to Firefox. Restore previous sessions, greyed out, I appear to be roasted. Be sick of it by now, losing most is great but I really wanted some of them sitting there without having to be on bookmark, no way to get my tabs when this happens almost once a week now?

Sorry for the delay in responding. Could you're looking for a historical file of session before update here:

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.

Note: If you do not see a current (updated in the last few minutes) the file here recovery.js, then your Firefox cannot save the session correctly history. 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/wi.../show-hide-file-name-extensions

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.

No recent data do you like that?

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

Break while Firefox finishing his cleaning, then rename sessionstore.js to something like sessionstore.old (in the case where this all else fails and you need it back).

(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?
