Restore lost tabs
My Firefox crashed when my laptop was inactive. When relaunching it didn't have my usual tabs open so I did the usual, history- restore tabs. This didn't work and only opened 2 tabs when I know I had about at least 15 open. Please tell me other ways I can do this? they are backed up in file library, how do I restore them from there? or any other way, this is frustrating.
Thanks

If Firefox starts up after an update without your data and other settings, check whether your data is available in a different profile:
Inside Firefox, type or paste about:profiles in the address bar and press Enter/Return to load it. The About Profiles page will open. This page should list at least one profile and could list many.
The profile that Firefox is currently using will show:
This is the profile in use and it cannot be deleted.
Please do not delete anything here; don't use any Remove buttons.
Do you have another profile named default or default-longnumber listed on this page? If so, you can check whether it is the one you were using recently by clicking its Launch profile in new browser button.
If it isn't what you want, simply close that new window.
If it IS what you want, click the Set as default profile button for that profile on the about:profiles page. Firefox will use it automatically at the next startup.
For more information see Recover user data missing after Firefox update or reinstall.
Note: If your bookmarks are not available in another Firefox profile, see Recover lost or missing Bookmarks for other solutions.
Last session stores are getting backed up, so before it gets overwritten, see How to restore a browsing session from backup how to make a copy of the files and try them out later one by one if the data is in any of those.
