I was working on a project with many open tabs (30+) when around 19:30 firefox crashed (which happens quite regularly when that many tabs are open, got used to it). After the crash this time the tab about:sessiorestore didnt come up. Just my small tab on the left side which always stays there (my mail) what i told firefox to do (dont know the name for that in english cause i have dutch firefox) plus a tab with www.Qvo6.com, which also openend in a second window , while i had had only 1 window open. Typing in "about:sessiorestore" myself, the list appeared empty. Lost all of my open tabs. The menu options "Restore last session", "Recently closed tabs" and "Recently closed windows" were all grey and thus empty. I never had this before, it always worked. A lot of work is gone. The additional problem is that i cannot retrieve my tabs from my history cause one of the open tabs was a session restore tab itself, with a session containing a tab with in there also a session restore tab which i all wanted to be able to recover cause that were sites i needed for other important projects i was working on. The third level session restore was longer than 8 months ago, so those sites are not in firefox history anymore (why..? :/) and other, more recently opened pages are SO hard to find back in the thousands of sites i visited in the past 8 month that checking each site will be undoable, since i dont even remember the exact name of opened sites. I hope you can imagine the size of the problem to me here.

So: is there a file where different restored sessions are stored in? cause apparently different sessions can be saved and retrieved. Retrieving a session restore within a session restore - as i just described - did work before. Until you lose em all, like now.

Can sync or xmarks help me maybe..?

I really hope you can help me. Lots of effort and time is lost here. Love to hear from you.

PS can this be related to bug 651803 which i reported before..? ("Recently closed tabs" staying empty)

Oh and I installed and uninstalled a toolbar which changed the startpage to Qvo6.com but even after that, the last crash session restore still worked. Just thought i'd mention it cause Qvo6.com opened two windows while i had had only one open. Maybe that influences start pages after crash like session restore.

Hi. Since updating to Firefox 20, I've noticed that the "Tabs" are right along the very top of the screen now, which I can't access becasue I use Dell Desktop to have my shortcuts in, which drops down in front of them. It used to be fine when it was just a little lower, but at the same time I don't want the "Menu Bar" on as it pushes them TOO low for my smaller sized screen. How can I get the back to the position they where, right below the organge "Firefox" button as apposed to the side of it without resorting to disabling Dell Desktop?

I set up the group tabs and they worked, but then I left the group to a site not in the groups. When I clicked on the group tabs icon to get back to the group tabs, the group windows were there, but empty except the site that I was currently on was in showing on top (in) one of the groups. I find no clear instructions on how to save these group tabs and their content, or reopen them in another session. Please explain how to save these group tabs and then reopen them. If you are going to post an answer instead of sending me an email, I'll never find it - please send me an email answer.
