On the page https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-restore-browsing-session-backup , I'm flummoxed by the meaning of bullet point 10. It reads: "Copy your chosen file into the main profile folder. (Not the original sessionstore-backups folder, but the one above it.)"

What does 'above' mean here? Copy it into the folder that holds the original 'sessionstore-backup' folder? Seems an odd thing to do, given that there is no file with a similar name sitting loose within the Profile.

And I have tried that and it doesn't seem to work. Just want to check I'm reading this correctly before I persist. Thanks
