My Restore Session is missing. I closed the tabs normally before rebooting my PC, and now I want my tabs back.

When I had to reboot my laptop, I closed 200+ tabs the normal way, knowing that I can get them back using Restore Session. Upon starting Firefox again, the Home Page had no Restore Session option, and the History tab has the option greyed out.

I quickly used a file recovery program to obtain the following: recovery.bak, sessionCheckpoints.json, Sessions.xml

Would someone PLEASE tell me what to do with these files to get the session back? I've asked a similar question before, because I know it can be done. I have successfully recovered a lost session long ago, having it work normally.

Addons like Save my tabs and Session manager could help in these cases.
