I had a number of tabs open today (~40). Because Firefox started to malfunction, I had to restart Firefox. It happened to me before and I knew that I can restore my previous session so I safely closed the tabs.

When I restarted it, I opened a tab and then I tried to open the Application Menu, but accidentally closed the window. Now, when I've re-opened Firefox and attempted to restore the previous session only that last tab appeared.

Is it possible to recover the pre-previous session? I use Ubuntu 18.04. Where is this information located? and how can I retrieve it?

Hello! You can check if your tabs are still in the Recently closed windows by: Click the Application Menu> Click History> Click Recently closed windows> Check if they're there

Hi, -elison-. There aren't any recently closed windows, i.e. the option is grayed out.

@donthavecow, following the instructions in the first link I've managed to restore my tabs from the latest `upgrade.jsonlz4-xxx` file.

Thanks a lot!!!
