Firefox (97.0 64 bit, windows 10) destroyed all my previous tabs (4 windows lots of tabs) when I opened it despite always having "Firefox will" set to "Remember History". It just opened one window with the Home page.
Trying to sort it out using restore all tabs and then all windows, it just made the problem worse and the restored tabs eventually stopped restoring so now I have useless json files.
The files I have in my profile are:
previous.jsonlz4 15/2/2022 18:46
recovery.baklz4 15/2/2022 19:10
recovery.jsonlz4 15/2/2022 19:10 (this file changes its name from bak to json and back to bak again, very odd)
upgrade.jsonlz4-20220119190439 26/1/2022 00:23
upgrade.jsonlz4-20220126154723 29/1/2022 04:31
upgrade.jsonlz4-20220202182137 12/2/2022 17:40
Is it possible "previous.jsonlz4" may have all the windows and tabs that I lost?
If so, how could I get Firefox to use it when I next open it? (assuming if I close this browser it won't overwrite the "previous.jsonlz4" file??).
Also could I use the upgrade.jsonlz4 file to try to restore all the windows and tabs that I lost? The windows would have been much the same on 12 Feb as they were today before the destruction.
