When restoring from a crash, Firefox session manager only restores some of my tabs, for instance 35 out of 50. If I use the Memory Restart plugin on my tool bar, all of my tabs are restored. The tabs lost are usually at the end of the string but sometimes come from the middle. There doesn't seem to be any correlation with the length of time the tabs have been open; sometimes I'll lose tabs that have survived several restarts. My pinned tabs are always restored properly and sometimes I have a string of empty tabs at the end, This problem began earlier this year when I begrudgingly gave up FF 26 and started doing semi regular updates; I'm at 40.0.3 now.

Also, does anyone have any current solutions to the order of tabs reversing after a restart? I've searched the archives but none of the solutions offered worked any several appeared to be invalid after many Firefox versions.

1. When I restart after a crash FF is open for at least an hour, no additional tabs appear.

2. A restart with extensions disabled yields the same result.

3.The sessionstore.js file is about 1.2Mb

4. As far as tinkering with about.com goes, I expect FF to be stable enough that I shouldn't have to tinker with it to get "normal" operation.

The tab loss problem is now moot because I installed Session Manager extension by Michael Kraft and tabs aren't lost when recovering from a crash or Task Manager kill.

My remaining problem from the original post is the tab order reversing upon restart after a crash. As I stated previously, I've searched the archives but none of the solutions offered worked any several appeared to be invalid after many Firefox versions. Is there a current solution to this problem?

A new issue that has arisen is a lack of space for icons on the Toolbar. The users's ability to create an additional toolbar with a right click has been removed in lieu of the abhorrent "Menu" that I refuse to use. Is there any "hidden" method for the user to add another toolbar without generating code?

Do you wait long enough in case it takes extra time to process all data stored in sessionstore.js?

Did you check for issues caused by (other) extensions?

What is the file size of the sessionstore.js file?

You can use this button to go to the current Firefox profile folder:

You can (temporarily) set the browser.sessionstore.max_tabs_undo pref to 0 on the about:config page to clear the "Recently Closed Tabs" list. To re-use the "Recently Closed Tabs" feature (Undo Closed Tabs), reset the browser.sessionstore.max_tabs_undo pref to the default value via the right-click context menu.

You can cleanup the tab history by temporarily setting the involved prefs to 0 on the about:config page. 

// number of back button session history entries to restore (-1 = all of them)
pref("browser.sessionstore.max_serialize_back", 10);
// number of forward button session history entries to restore (-1 = all of them)
pref("browser.sessionstore.max_serialize_forward", -1);

You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.
