So i'm building a new computer for my friend's dad, and he's going on about how he needs his old tabs back because he never closes his tabs and he has dozens open and it helps him keep track of what he's doing.

Is there any way to import what was going on last session into a new installation of firefox on a diffrent computer. We have the hard drives but the PC is dead, so we only have access to the files in the folders.

Thanks in advance for the help.

hello, you can try to restore his old profile from the former harddrive - this should contain all his personal data including any open sessions...
