Is there a way to save and reopen an entire firefox session by having the "Sync" feature enabled?

I have to send my current laptop in for maintenance, and will more than likely have to get my hard drive replaced. Although everything will be backed up prior, I, of course, will have to reinstall programs like FireFox. I have several windows open via the "Grouped Tabs" feature. Is there a way I can save this session, so that I can merely log in and have them come back up after the reinstall? Or will I have to bookmark every single one of them into a folder of some sort, and then just bring them back up myself that way? That being said, is there a way to "bookmark all current open tabs" (like Safari has), or will I literally have to go on each individual page and bookmark them?

Thank you in advance for any replies/help!

Right-click a Tab and select Bookmark All Tabs.


Sync might work for that, but I recommend backing up your Firefox Profile to a USB stick - Just-in-case .

You can make a backup copy of the sessionstore.js file in the Firefox profile folder.

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

Windows hides some file extensions by default. Among them are .html and .ini and .js and .txt, so you may only see file name without file extension. You can see the real file type (file extension) in the properties of the file via the right-click context menu in Windows Explorer.
