Last night I had an operating system update. Before the OS update, I closed all open apps, including Firefox. In the past, the session I closed the previous evening was restored. But this morning, all my pinned tabs and other open tabs are gone, and Restore Previous Session does not appear as an option on the dropdown menu. Recently Closed Tabs is pretty random, not really helpful. Recently Closed Windows only shows one tab that I opened this morning (probably a mistake on my part). Is there any way for me to retrieve the session from yesterday?

Isisombulu esikhethiweyo

Thank you so much for the quick response. In the meantime, I stumbled upon a solution. I hit the Windows button and R In the dialog box, I typed "firefox.exe -p" I selected the Default User profile Checked Use the selected file without asking at startup Clicked Start Firefox, and my session from last night was restored

Never thought this would work, just trying random stuff.
