Refresh wiped out all my history and setting
Hi,
My Mozilla has been increasingly giving me head-aches. First, as of almost a year ago. Certain websites won't work in Firefox. Second, despite frequent updates it was getting slow. Yesterday, its suggested for me to refresh my browser in order to speed it up. I did so. I thought that refreshing would keep my history and bookmarks. Everything is gone.
Please let me know how I can undo this. Or at least how I can restore my bookmarks and some of my lost tabs and windows.
Thanks,
Cyrus

Look on your desktop. Do you see a folder called; Old Firefox? Look inside. Look for the folder with the latest creation date.

Thank you Fred,
I have located and copied over most of what I need. I am still missing my session (my existing open windows and tabs) along with the history. I have copied the session files and folder but still no luck.
Any suggestions on how to invoke the session restore prompt or get back the last session prior to refresh?
