Where have my Restore Session tabs gone?
Hello all,
PLEASE help. I had a load of tabs open in my Firefox session which were really important. They were all open to reimind me of jobs I had to do.
I don't know what's happened now - but they're not there.
PLEASE - is there anyway I can get them back? Is the Restore Session tab somewhere in History
HELP FIREFOX!!

Click History, then Restore Previous Session.
Yeah that was blank. Is there anywhere Firefox keeps a record of all Restore Sessions - there must be somewhere? Sorry for delay in replying
Many Thanks
Gavin

I just had this problem after a toolbar install wiped my previous session of several tabs over several tab groups, about:sessionrestore was empty. I'm a little late to the party, but for the sake of posterity, here's how I got my session back.
I followed Xircal's first link, and decided to locate the firefox app data in window's users folder. Once I told explorer to show hidden files, I found the sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak files I was seeking, as well as session.rdf, under AppData/Roaming/Mozilla/Firefox/Profile... I have Windows 7, but this should work if you have system restore active and backed-up regularly. I don't know if XP/Vista have the option in the context menu, or if those users would have to try a system restore.
Anyway,
- Close firefox.
- Locate your firefox profile's AppData (above.)
- Right-click to select "Restore previous sessions" on each sessionstore file, and session.rdf for good measure.
- In the dialog that comes up, you have to click the restore button (there was only one previous version of each file for me.)
- Launch firefox again and it should be back to normal.

Thanks, JediMobius. Once your previous session has been wiped out, this is the only way to get it back. I knew Firefox had to have it backed up somewhere.
