how do i get back tabs after f/f is closed by a crash?
After each of the last few F/F updates and after a few Windows updates, my open session was reset. When I look for system restore I cannot find the b****y thing. And this really p****s me off!!
Since F/F has recently been "improved" (like hell it has!!! - even the menu bar is hidden by default amongst most other useful items), I'm guessing Session Restore is also deplaced to improve "my F/F experience".
Can someone please tell me how to return to my unimproved experience as provided by F/F before version 24-ish particularly how to restore tabs?

Assuming Firefox still has your original session stored, you can enter about:home in the Awesome Bar. Hit "Enter". At the bottom of the page is a giant "Restore Previous Session" button.
If you'd like Firefox to open your previous session each time you start the browser, go to "Options" > "General", then set the pulldown menu for "When Firefox starts:" to "Show my tabs and windows from last time".
I hope that helps!
Try to restore a previous version of the sessionstore.js file.

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