Major Problem: My Firefox tabs and windows didn't restore when I restarted Firefox...

more options

Greetings everyone,

Earlier, when I opened Firefox it didn't restore the tabs and windows I had been using from about 2 weeks ago. I tried looking in "History" in the Firefox menu but it only displays tabs and windows that I've closed and it doesn't have the tabs and windows I had actually open.

I've had the same Firefox settings since I first installed Firefox a few years ago and this is the first time this has happened... :'( :'( :'(

I must have had about 70 Firefox windows and even more tabs within those windows so this really hurt me... :'( :'( :'(

Thank you for any help!

Sounds exciting... Let get to it! 1) Post a screenshot of the files(detailed view) in your sessionstore-backups folder in your profile. see screenshots of my files and how to get to the profile folder.

Firefox has had a session restore issue for years, which is why I make copies of my sessionstore-backups folder.
