Restore session between 32-bit and 64-bit Firefox?

Hi!

From reading Mozilla online documentation, I foolishly assumed that my previous lots-of-tabs session would simply open up in 64-bit Firefox after uninstalling the 32-bit one and installing 64-bit Firefox. This didn't happen at all, and I can't find the Session manager folder anywhere. Help please?

I assume that Firefox may have created a new profile because the 64-bit version is installed in a different location than the 32-bit version.

If you lost personal data it is possible that a new default-release profile folder has been created. See "Determine if Firefox has created a new profile":

You can open the about:profiles page via the location bar to check whether multiple profiles are present and what profile Firefox currently is using.

Firefox 67 and newer use a dedicated profile for each Firefox installation and lock this profile to prevent other Firefox installations from using this profile.
