firefox suddendly closed and when I opened it my tabs were gone
All of the sudden, Firefox shut down. It has happened before a couple of time, but when I opened it again, my previous session was restored. Not this time. All my tabs are gone, and "history" just shows the pages I recently opened, not the tabs that were abruptly closed. I would really appreciate any help you can provide.

Please explain the problem in detail. What happens? What are the exact error message(s) ? Have you checked for crash reports?
For more help on crash reports, see; https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-crashes-asking-support
thank you. I restarted my computer and followed your directions, and everything went back in order. Thank you so much!
btw, I didn't receive any error message. I was using excel, and firefox shut down. when I opened it again, I just had the regular home page.
Keep an eye out for trouble and let us know.
