After doing Java Update, Restore Previous session did not appear and can't get previous tabs back.

I did the Java Update, and Java opened Firefox to make sure I had the current version. However, no window with "Restore Previous Session" showed up. When I closed and reopened, I did get a "Restore Previous Version," but that just brought back the session with the "Verify Java Version" tab and another tab I used to search for an solution to this problem. Tried using previous.js and one of the upgrade files in sessionrestore-backups, but I just kept getting the same "previous version" with the Java window. Anyway I can get those tabs back?

Sorry, but your previous session was "wiped" when you closed Firefox after Java automatically opened it.

You should have hit the Home button on the Toolbar to get to the Homepage for access to the "Restore Previous Session" button there, or opened "History" and used Restore Previous Session menu-item there, rather than closing Firefox and opening again to get your Homepage to appear.
