Where does Firefox store the url addresses of a session?

Firefox Troubleshooting

After a crash FF failed to restore my session, and I didn't have a backup. I looked up what ways are there for restoring the session, but none of them worked, because new sessions were started. I guess I cannot restore everything any more, but if I had the stored url-s, that would be a great help, so I wonder if they are stored anywhere else than under AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles, like somewhere under e.g. AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles.

Session data is stored in the sessionstore.js in the Firefox Profile Folder

You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:

  • Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder

Try to restore a previous version of the file. 

Right click: Properties > Previous Versions
