I just reinstalled Firefox (after a long hiatus with IE) and already have trouble. My system BSOD and I lost all my tabs. Restore Session didn't happen, and yes, it's unavailable in History. I, like many, work with a lot of tabs open. Going into History is impossible, given the number of sites. How do I fix this?

You can try to restore a previous version of the sessionstore.js file in the Firefox profile folder.

I think I mentioned I don't have previous versions installed. Years ago, perhaps, but not on this build.

In the meanwhile, I BSODed again. An IRQ issue, which should have no impact on Firefox' ability to restore a session.
