Hi I don't know what happened if I accidently clicked out my browser or it crashed but I was trying to get back into Firefox and I pressed it and nothing happened so I double clicked on firefox again and two pages opened in new windows but not my tabs which I have a bunch and I have very important ones saved for a long time. I didn't know what to do next so I kept the tabs open and I started searching the web on a new tab but I never exited the first two ones that opened separately yet. I went to the profile folder I found sessionstore-backups. I read I'm suppose to exit it to find sessionstore.js and that is the only way to recover but should I do anything before I exit and I don't understand what I'm suppose to be renaming, is it that sessionstore.js I'm suppose to be renaming something or is there another folder I have to rename sessionstore.js Please help! I hate this firefox needs to fix it

Hi, before you do that, have a look at: How do I restore my tabs from last time?

If necessary see -

For future reference; It would be better to bookmark important sites, rather than just relying on tabs.

If your question is resolved by this or another answer, please take a minute to let us know. Thank you!
