Firefox crashed, session restore didn't work, Restore Previous Session is grayed out and the tabs that were open are not listed in today's history. Can anyone help?
Don't know what else to say, lost 56 tabs, can't get them back, need them back for work.

Any ideas, anybody?
If you are on Mac OSX running Time Machine with a Backup External Drive try this: 1. Close Firefox. 2. Navigate on your Hard Drive to User/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles/~Folder that will say 'default'~/sessionstore.js 3. Click on sessionstore.js 4. Enter Time Machine. 5. Navigate to a 'Safe Time' just before Firefox crashed and lost your Tabs (like an hour or two). 6. When Time Machine goes back to the selected time, making sure "sessionstore.js" is still highlighted, click RESTORE on bottom right of Time Machine window. 7. You`ll be asked by Time Machine to either replace, rename or keep both files and seeing as your present "sessionstore.js" has lost all your Tabs, you`ll want to simply REPLACE it with the Time Machine Backup File. 8. Re-Open Firefox and you`ll see that the RESTORE PREVIOUS SESSION option is restored, click and Voila!
Worked for me-THANK THE GODS for Time Machine!!
Not on Mac though.
I have Xp running on my computer. Restore worked fine on 3.x but has never worked right since 4.x. Is the answer MS explorer? I do not want to do any upgrades to Firefox/Google. Is there a way to move back to 3.x when most things worked OK? I looked into Chrome but not being allowed to password the app to safely save passwords led me to delete Chrome from my system.
