I have Firefox set up to restore my tabs automatically when I open the browser. Today, it did not, and I can't find a way to restore my previous session. Every suggestion I find online is not resolving the issue. There is no option to restore through the history tab, and no option to restore the session in Startup under General Settings.

Would appreciate the help!

Thanks,

Doug

What is it you have tried already?


You may have corrupt sessionstore [v56] sessionstore.jsonlz4 file(s). Delete all sessionstore* files and the sessionstore-backups folder.

Don't delete the files if you need to rescue any data from them, just move them out of the profile folder to some location where Firefox doesn't look for them. You can try to read out their contents using this tool: https://www.jeffersonscher.com/res/scrounger.html
