Session Restore History

Hello,

I just had Firefox overwrote a session restore I had open for a long time with a few hundred tabs. Is there any way to see prior session history or backup these sessions without manually copying the files? If not will these features ever be added?

Thanks

Hi Robert, that sounds really frustrating, especially with so many tabs open. Unfortunately, Firefox doesn’t currently offer built-in access to previous session histories beyond the latest restore. A good workaround is to regularly back up your profile or use an extension like Session Buddy or Tab Session Manager, which can automatically save your sessions so you won’t lose hundreds of tabs in the future.
