I had about a dozen pinned links for several months. They all suddenly disappeared. How to get them back.

I have been running Firefox 19.0.2 for several months and have pinned a number of sites. There were no problems with the pinned sites until this afternoon. I came home and found Firefox running, but all pinned sites gone. I rebooted Firefox and then the computer, hoping that this would return the pinned sites. NO LUCK.

You can check if you have a numbered sessionstore-##.js file in the Firefox profile folder with a time stamp from around that time and see if renaming to sessionstore.js brings back those tabs.

it was too late. The file had been updated to later in the day. Is there a place where the older files are stored??

I am sure that it would have worked if I had gotten to the file timely. No such luck. BUT now I know for the future.
