Today Firefox opened as new page with My Lucky search engine and NO options to restore yesterday's session! How can i restore it?!
Is it possible to resume my previous session anyhow? I had lots of useful pages and they are difficult to retrieve from History manually!

Hi, you can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software, and hopefully the normal Firefox start page with the Restore button will return when it is removed:
- Microsoft Safety Scanner
- MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware
- Anti-Rootkit Utility - TDSSKiller
- AdwCleaner (for more info, see this alternate AdwCleaner download page)
- Hitman Pro
- ESET Online Scanner
Note that not all removal programs will detect all malware, so you may need to run several or all of them.
You can also check your Firefox Desktop shortcut for corruption: Right click on it > Properties, and in Target, make sure there is no sign of the malware. If there is, delete that part of it. Or if it's easier, you can just delete and recreate a new shortcut.
Another thing you can do, is to search for the malware in your PC's search box.
After removal you may need to reset your home page and search, which you can do by running the add-on SearchReset.
