Help! My session restore doesn't remember my session and I need it back!

I had around 210 tabs open. Unsurprisingly, Firefox crashed, so I session restored it and went through and cleared as many tabs as possible before it crashed again, to work the number back down. I'd done this before numerous times without problem. However, after a few times, firefox just opened up a Google (homepage) window when it restarted. I went to about:sessionrestore and...nothing. It had forgotten all my tabs, all my windows, everything. Over 200 things, many of which were very important and most of which I cannot remember the URL for. I'm actually crying.

I know I was probably greatly abusing firefox by having so many tabs open and never backing them up (I'd never needed to, thanks to session restore). I am really, really sorry and have definitely learnt my lesson. But please, *please* tell me is there anything I can do to get them back? I'm desperate here...thanks in advance

OP again here, I checked sessionrestore.js and it looks like that only contains my current session (google results and info about session restore problems) and not any of the missing stuff. Does this mean it's gone forever?

Do you still have a sessionstore.bak file in the Firefox Profile Folder with a previous session that has crashed? If you have then make a backup copy of that file in another location and rename the file to sessionstore.js to see if that works.
