Hi, someone from IT tried to solve a problem with my laptop and thought it was a good idea to clean my Firefox session AND history!!! Now all my open tabs (62) are gone and "Restore previous session" is greyed out. He used an external tool CClean or something. Is there any way to get my tabs back?

Thanks a lot Nicole

You can try to restore to previous version( Previous Version )the file "places.sqlite" for Bookmarks and browsing history and "sessionstore.bak". These files are stored in your Profiles - Where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data
