How do I recover my history after a crash?

I've had firefox crash twice in the past week which of course deletes all bookmarks and history. Because of the way Firefox is with everything hidden in places.sqlite they are difficult to recover. They give you backup of bookmarks, but not of history. Is there any addon or any way of retrieving history? I made a backup of the old profile and started new for now. I tried sqlite browser, but it doesn't work on places.sqlite. I tired renaming the corrupt file and deleting the others. No luck. How do I get history back?

Eh, I'm not trying to restore a session. I'm trying to get history back. Isn't that in places.sqlite not sessionstore.js? Not sure what the suggestion is.

Sry about it. Yes history is stored in places.sqlite

places.sqlite

Locked or Damaged places.sqlite

Check and tell if its working.
