Restore tabs

Yesterday I closed various tabs throughout the afternoon in preparation for taking my MacBook in for service. I saved the URLs to a Word document. However, the Word document didn't save and now I need to find those tabs. They are not in the Restore Previous Session because I purposely closed them individually. And my computer was started and re-started several times during it's service. Is there a way to find tabs that I CLOSED yesterday????? Please help

That's a very unfortunate scenario.

After restoring your session, Firefox should show "Recently Closed Windows" and "Recently Closed Tabs" on the History menu. That may help get some of them back.

If the tabs had been loaded recently, you could trawl through your history to find the sites, but that's quick a bit of work.

If the tabs had been open for a long time, maybe a Time Machine backup could help, but I'm not very familiar with how to use those.
