In my android 4.4.2, i opened some tabs in Firefox 40.0.3, and let me call this session A.

Then firefox closed itself and restarted itself without reatoring closed tabs. I didn't noticed it, and if i did, i would have restored all the tabs in Recent Tabs.

Then i opened some new tabs. Let me call this session B.

Then accidentally i closed firfox, and restarted it. i want to recover the tabs in session A, but only found the tabs in the session B in Recent Tabs, and strangely can't find tabs in session A in History either.

What can i do to recover tabs in session A? What can i do to prevent the problem from happening?

Thanks!

Hi Tim, It sounds like it was closed unexpectantly, we can investigate if it was a crash in about:crashes on your browser by copying the crash ids in a response to this post. However there is not a way to recover session A, I apologize for the inconvenience.

In the future you may be able to restore them automatically from Settings > Customize > Tabs [ ] "Always restore..."
