Firefox crashed with no dialog box, none of my tabs were restored.
Firefox crashed with no dialog box. It just stopped responding and disappeared. When I re-opened it, none of my tabs were restored - just my homepage. I had about 10-15 active tabs that I was working on. I'm not too concerned about the crash, but I AM concerned about restoring my lost tabs. Some are old tabs (ie, months old but I still use them and go back to them), so I'd be digging through months of histry trying to find them or remember what they were.

As a side note, I don't have a sessionstore.js or sessionstore.bak located ANYWHERE on my PC. From what I've been reading, all is lost.
See Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory > Open Containing folder
If you do not have a sessionstore file in the Firefox Profile Folder then your crashed session is lost.
Session restore works more reliable if you choose Tools > Options > General > Startup: "When Firefox Starts": "Show my windows and tabs from last time"

I already knew where my profile folder is, and there was no sessionstore files in there. Also already had "show my windows and tabs from last time" selected. I have no idea why everything disappeared.
