My computer shut down and with it went one tab. When I next opened firefox, onetab was not working at all. The icon was gone, everything was gone. I had to reset firefox completely and add all add ons again to get it working at all. I backed everything up before doing this. I have a tab hoarding problem and lost links to around 5000 tabs. I've got the previous session/old firefox data saved externally, plus old profiles. Is there any way to get my lost tabs back?

TLDR I need to extract my one tab data from my previous firefox folder which is saved separately. Please help.

Hi

There have been more reports that the One Tab suddenly stopped working and what worked for most was disabling and re-enabling the OT extension.

Now that you have reset Firefox restoring OT extension data might not be easy and maybe you should contact its author for support. Note that the Add-ons page says that you can export OT data.
