Tabs lost - including pinned ones
I just opened Firefox on my Win 11 pc, and find all my tabs have gone. The setting to reopen last session is active, as before. I think FF updated itself earlier today. I also had occasion to look at it briefly on my synchronised android phone. I would like to: - get my tabs back - find a way to stop this haappening (it's not the first time).
Any advice much appreciated, thanks. Richard

Session restore has been an issue for Firefox for many years. Which is why I make backup of the sessionstore-backups folder. see old screenshot Should also verify what you have firefox doing when you close the browser. I have the clear browser history unchecked. see screenshot
See if this helps. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1557927#answer-1790790
Hi, and thanks. But this seems not to be the solution. Yes, the clear history box IS unchecked. And Startup: Open previous windows and tabs is checked. But still, FF is losing all my tabs every time I close it. I will have a go at making the backup you suggest, but this problem still needs fixing. It seems to have started after an update - I wonder if this is affecting anyone else.
PS I have set it to Ask before closing multiple tabs - and now it won't let me close FF without closing the tabs !!
Post a screenshot of the files in the folder sessionstore-backups in your profile folder in the detailed. see my screenshot
