I cannot restore my session after many crashes. It's happened in the past but I don't remember how I fixed it only that I used a file named sessionstore and recently I found that upgrade .js is similar.Can anyone help, please? I'm running firefox version 33.0.2

If you use the Time Machine then try to restore the sessionstore.js file from that backup.

Current Firefox releases keep a backup of sessionstore files in the sessionstore-backups folder to recover from issues with saving a new copy of the sessionstore.js file. The upgrade.js files with a build ID appended are created when Firefox is updated.

You can copy such an upgrade.js file as sessionstore.js to the main profile folder to make Firefox use the file (History > Recently Closed Tabs/Windows).

I do not use Time Machine to back up my files. I also have previous.js, can that be of any use? I will also try the upgrade.js to sessiostore method later due to time limitations, and let you know of the results.
