Hi,

After using the sync function, my tabs were reset to standard. I've lost all my tabs but have found the right file that contains the last session with these tabs. How do I restore this back? Do I have to rename the file into which one and what are the next steps?

thanks, Dan

Update: got it solved:

Took the file that contains the tabs that I want restored, renamed it to sessionstore.jsonlz4 Which is the file that apparently ONLY is visible in the main profile folder (and not in the session back up folder as I thought at first) when Firefox is not active. Then deleted that file containing the latest active tab/tabs and replaced it for the renamed file containing the wanted tabs and placed it in the main profile folder. Then restarted Firefox , and viola, back-up-and-running! :) :) Very happy.
