Cannot go to previous session: Tabs are gone :(

Hello!

when I turned off my computer, I had a number of important tabs open. Usually when I turn off my computer and turn it back on, I just "restore" my previous session and my tabs are there. However, Firefox upgraded automatically and gave me no option to save my tabs or restore them. Now all I am seeing is new tab and new window as options. :( I need my previous sessions because I don't remember all the urls out of my head. Please help.

Kind regards,

-Rusty

Hi Rusty, the menu item was relocated to be under History. Could you check:

  • "3-bar" menu button > History > Restore Previous Session
  • (menu bar) History > Restore Previous Session

If they are missing or grayed, check either:

  • "3-bar" menu button > History > Recently Closed Windows
  • (menu bar) History > Recently Closed Windows

Note: Each window also has its own Recently Closed Tabs list.
