I want to be able to restore not just my last session but a session from a previously selected date and time.

Kind of a question and a suggestion. I accidentally closed my session with a load of tabs open. I then accidentally reopened firefox twice, once with my old session and a new session which was just my homepage. Meaning to close the latter I accidentally closed the former, and now I can't restore all the tabs I had open as firefox will only remember the last session I had open, i.e. the one with just my homepage. Is it possible to set up a 'session history' feature, so that just as I can go back and open a tab from yesterday or last week I can open a session from yesterday or last week?

Thanks

Steve

Hi, I lost my session about two days ago, with a lot of important tabs that just vanished as I upgraded my Firefox. Now I don't know if it is possile to restore that session. I didn't have the session-manager extension installed.. I also found in: C:\Documents and Settings\xxx\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\xxx.default some files that I think they might be useful, that are called "sessionstore" (JScript script file). Can somebody help me? Thanks a lot!

A copy of sessionstore.js will only help if you have one from before that session loss.
If you restart Firefox then the previous session is copied to sessionstore.bak and thus is overwritten once you close and start Firefox another time.
