All tabs lost after firefox crash.
Hey guys. So, as I've said, I lost all my tabs. I have the Session manager plugin, but it's not showing up in the plugin toolbar nor in the Customize folder. I've copied previous.js and a backup from the Session folder to my desktop right after it happened. I tried copying and changing previous.js to sessionstore.js, but upon opening Firefox the tabs were not there and the Restore option was still greyed out. I checked previous.js in wordpad and the links are there, but there's about a hundred of them and I'd like to avoid copying all of them if I can. Is there any solution to this?

hi, you could try to copy/paste the content of your previous.js file into https://firefox-session-restore.herokuapp.com/

That does work, thanks! But as I've said, there's a LOT of them (because they were grouped), so if there's any quicker solution that'd be great!

You can also open the sessionstore file in a Firefox tab. Open the Web Console (Firefox/Tools > Web Developer) and paste this code in the command line.
eval("ss = "+document.body.innerHTML.replace("<pre>","").replace("</pre>",""));
sd='';
for (var i = 0; i < ss.windows[0].tabs.length; i++) {
var ent = ss.windows[0].tabs[i].entries;
var last = ent[ent.length-1];
sd+="["+(i+1)+"]:"+"<a href="+last.url+">"+last.url+"</a><br />";
}
document.body.innerHTML=sd;
