Restore browsing history
Hi, I'm Albert.
I had like 10,000 open tabs (not exaggerating) and these tabs are gone after a blue screen error and a few Windows updates. I want to restore those tabs, but I can not because the "Restore the previous session" option is grayed out.
Are there ways to restore these open tabs?
If there isn't one, then I want to restore all the websites I have visited over the past few years and manually filter them.
How do I do it?
The Firefox library contains history but the oldest history it contains is 2024 December one. I guess the dedicated folder removed my old browsing history as it was filled up?
What I read is that places.sqlite file contains all the browsing history. Is this right? My places.sqlite file size is 80.0 MB (83,886,080 bytes). Is there a size limit on this file? I wonder if this file contains all my browsing history.
I have my places.sqlite file and DB Browser installed on my computer. But I don't know what to do next after opening places.sqlite file.
If there are better suited applications for my purpose than DB Browser, please recommend me one with a little instruction.
Long story short, how do I restore my open tabs or browsing history?
Please help me.

Hi,
You should be able to restore your session from backups, if they haven't been replaced yet. Please see the following article (and avoid restarting Firefox to keep fresh backups): How to restore a browsing session from backup. Of course, feel free to skip the first step with about:sessionrestore. Does that work for you?
