Can't Restore Previous Session
So the night before I closed my session as normal and when I went on the next morning it loaded the home page and when I tried to go into restore previous session it was greyed out as was recentley closed window so I closed the browser and restarted it but still didn't restore it and then closed it again and shut it down and turned it on again but still doesn't fix it. I am really, really desperate and extremely angry as I had loads and loads of tabs open and I can't remeber all of them so can someone please help me out here? I have tried google searching the problem and finding quetions with problems similiaar to mine but couldn't find anything that helped me out.

You can try to restore a previous version of the sessionstore.js file.
- Right-click: Properties > Previous Versions
You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:
- Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
Tried it but says "No previous versions available" as did all the other sessionstore files and backups
I managed to find a sessionstore file that hasn't been touched since the 21st of December so that has some of my missing tabs but for the more recent ones, it it possible to view history that is older than a month so that I can go and find what's still missing?
You would need a copy of the places.sqlite file that has this older history if you currently do not have this history in the History Manager (History > Show All History).
If you do not have older backups of sessionstore.js and places.sqlite then you can consider that history as lost (maybe there is still data in the disk cache, about:cache).
Well I couldn't find anything of use in my places.sqlite file and I've checked the disk cache and also the memory cache just in case but again nothing of use.
