After restoring a session one particular window is missing!
Hello!
A few hours ago I noticed that my Mozilla Firefox was jamming a bit, at least the window I was surfing the Web on.
That session had many windows open, and most of those windows had dozens of tabs in them.
So, since my PC had been on for several days and, as I mentioned, Mozilla Firefox was starting to acting up a bit, I decided to give it all a rest. I opened the Windows Task Manager and I voluntarily "crashed" Mozilla Firefox from there, then I shut down my PC and let it rest for two or three hours.
When I restarted my computer and I opened Mozilla Firefox, I was obviously asked if I wanted to pick up where I left. So, I restored the last session and all the windows I had open came up again... except the one I was working on when I decided to shut down my PC! It was the most important window, with HUNDREDS of critical tabs in it!
Why hasn't been restored along with the others?
Is there a way to make it appear again=
I'm flabbergasted, please, help me!
Thank you,
Amalia

Look at the list of Recently Closed Windows in History. It may be there. You should have exited the browser normally.
Terry, the Recently Closed Windows in History cannot be clicked on, it's not in gray. :-(

It didn't work. :(
Any further suggestions before I throw up my hands and surrender to the terrible fate that I've lost that Mozilla Firefox window full of important tabs?
By the way, I can probably find the webpages that made up those tabs in the History thing of the browser, but going for them one by one will be a horrendous task, plus I will be opening up also the ones that I had already consulted and closed alng those that I still had on.
My theory is that the reason why Mozilla Firefox restored the session but that particular window full of tabs is that such windoe was "acting up", "jamming", at the moment I shut down Mozilla Firefox, so the program did not recognize that the window even existed, and did away with it when created the session to restore.
I'm not sure I understand your reply, Dropa, it was not a tab that got lost, but, as I explained, an entire window full of tabs. At any rate, I assume that such window is permanently lost.
