Lost all my tabs after closing FF when having a private window open
Hello,
I just closed FF (latest version) and opened it again and all my tabs are gone. I had a private FF window open, so I am guessing this is the cause.
Is there a way to get get them back?

It might not be too late.
Could you check whether either of these are available (not hidden or grayed out):
- "3-bar" menu button > History > Restore Previous Session
- (menu bar or Alt+S) History > Restore Previous Session
If they are missing or grayed, check either:
- "3-bar" menu button > History > Recently Closed Windows
- (menu bar or Alt+S) History > Recently Closed Windows
- Ctrl+Shift+N [reopen last closed window]
I successfully restored by going to the session backup folder and replacing with the before update backup file.
I wonder what made this happen and I am wondering if I should install an add on just to backup my tabs.
If it happens again, immediately Ctrl+Shift+N so you can close the private window first. Or get used to quitting Firefox using either:
- menu button > Exit
- (menu bar or Alt+F) File > Exit
Or look at an extension like https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/tab-session-manager/ that has an independent tab store. (I don't use it myself, so I don't know how automatic it is.)
