Your chances of recovering deleted history are slim to impossible unless for some reason a sessionstore-xx.js file with a number in the name is present in your profile folder. Your Firefox profile folder is accessible from the button on

     Help > Troubleshooting Information

Once in your profile folder, in Windows you may need to unhide .js files or you may only see a file entitled sessionstore.

Try a system restore to an earlier date. That should give you the old bookmarks. Create a system restore point. then system restore to a date before your bookmarks were deleted. Save the bookmarks by going to "Bookmarks", "show all bookmarks", "backup and restore". Save the file *.js file to somewhere easy to find and restore your system to current date. Use backup and restore to import the file you just saved and you should now be up to date with your bookmarks restored.

i have sessionstore.bak it was exactly the same time when it was deleted but the sessionstore.js file is currently updated

so how do i retrieve the browsing history? i thought i was in places.sqlite??? I have places.sqlite-sh, the same time when it was deleted and the places.sqlite - is the current time

• Save your .bak file and your recovered places.sqlite file from your earlier crash to a safe place.
• Exit Firefox
• Make a copy of of the saved .bak file and saved places.sqlite and rename the copy to sessionstore.js.
• Move the copies into your profile folder, replacing the new ones that were created after your crash (move the replaced ones to another location in case you need to retrieve them later).
• Restart Firefox with the copy of the sessionstore.bak (now renamed sessionstore.js) and places.sqlite.
• If you get a new session when opening Firefox, select

unfortunately i didnt gamble yet with that, but just this moment thanks to me i found out windows7 allows to restore the previous version of any file just right click the properties of the places.sqlite>restore it>open your browser again and hurrah your history has been restored but everything has been back!

btw i dont the need the sessionstore, history is much more impt than that hehe.
