My laptop froze while I was using Firefox Quantum 60.0.2 (64-bit) for Mac, and I had to force-reboot it. When I restarted Firefox after logging back in, my tabs were gone, there were two blank tabs open and there was no option to restore the previous tabs. After that I force-quit Firefox and restarted it, hoping that might bring the tabs back, but it didn't.

I thought tabs were sync'ed. Is it possible to recover them?

Thanks!

synced to other firefox. if you have another devices that is synced and have the sync tab feature. You might be able to recover it. Dont restart it again. If it is backed up then restarting it several times deletes it. Check the profile section where the backups might be keep. You might be able to find at the very least the links there. Use session manager addon. Its great! and if you cant find the back restores check your history as a last resort to at least recover them that way or remember the links.
