Restore Previous Session Did Not Work, Any Way To Get It Back?

Computer crashed a 3 days ago and upon startup firefox didn't give me the option to "restore previous session" as it usually would. The option was grayed out and the latest sessionstore.js file was under the date and time I started it up after crash. Is there anyway I can get that session back? If not, will a system restore back to the day before my pc crashed bring back the sessionstore.js? (NOTE: I don't want responses of doing things to prevent it from happening next time, only how to fix my current situation.)

Hi,

Please try copying the sessionstore.bak file, exit Firefox, delete the sessionstore.js file and rename the copied sessionstore.bak file to sessionstore.js and start Firefox.

Troubleshooting

You can also try to restore a Previous version of the sessionstore.js file.
