Installing Firefox 4 changed my tabs options so when I loaded, it has started a new session and not loaded the tabs I had open when I closed my last session.

I want to recover my tabs from my previous session. Possible?

My previous session had been open for over a week so this history is basically useless as it's cluttered with thousands of pages.

Obviously I've done that.

That's how I had it set previously, but when I installed Firefox 4 it rest it and I lost all the tabs I had open. I want THOSE specific tabs. I can't remember then and I didn't know the update would alter my settings.
