Unrestored window

Mario Krivobok

Mozilla usually doesn’t restore all the windows I’m working in; when I open it, it only restores a few of them. I usually use the ‘History’ > ‘Recently Closed’ > ‘Reopen All Windows’ option, but this time not all the windows I need are being restored. My most important window, containing 1,000 essential tabs for various articles, hasn’t been restored, and it seems as though I have absolutely no chance of finding it at all; I don’t even have a ‘Restore previous sessions’ button. I don’t know how to get that window back, because restoring the tabs one by one would take an age and I’d probably lose a lot of them (it’s very important that these were tabs, not bookmarks). What should I do?

WOW Mario. That's a lot of tabs.  ;-)) The geek in me is curious to know your system spec. Can you post a screenshot of the performance tab from task manager? So many users complain about system resources. The session restore... It's been a long time issue for Firefox and it also happens in the forks of Firefox(Waterfox). See if this helps. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1557927#answer-1790790
