Firefox locks completely after about a minute. How to extract list of open tabs (and groups) and start over?
FF 145.0.2 (64 bit) canonical-002 - 1.0 running on Kubuntu 25.10 has suddenly started locking up completely after a minute or so with an "unresponsive". As I have just put in the crash reporter: "I haven't had problems with FF before but just possible that this relates to my growing problems with Thunderbird see https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1551791. I putting a question in Mozill Support about trying to keep my tabs and perhaps groups before doing a complete reinstall." So my questions here are:
- I am planning to to a complete clean reinstallation from snap but is there a better (more stable) installation?
- either snap specific or generically: is there a way I can find the open tab list from the debris of this snap installation (and perhaps the groups but that's less important)?
TIA,
Chris

That says: "Firefox is closed right? No need to rename the folders. Just making a copy of one of the files then rename it and then moving it to your profile folder. It would be helpful if you show any error messages. You should be able to just right click and make a copy. Then rename it and then move it." So:
- Yes, I have said FF has locked. I have closed it.
- I have no idea what the next line refers to in my context!
- There are no error messages. FF just locks shortly after launching
- The last line is completely unhelpful in my context
I appreciate your enthusiasm but that's not helpful!
The files in the sessionstore-backups folder will restore you session.
