Hello everyone, I need help. In my Firefox I use function to keep tabs from previous session. But I lost them today afternoon when using cleaning program for PC. I used Recuva program and I manage to find sessionstore.js file. I copied it to my profile folder in AppData/Roaming. Then I opened up Firefox, clicked button to restore my previous session and voila, all tabs were back! But then after few hours I closed my Firefox and now I opened up but all my tabs were gone again. I tried same procedure but it doesn't work now. Can you help me please? Thank you!

I solved the problem now after trying it again and again several times and my tabs are back now. Now how to avoid losing them again after I close and open my Firefox again?

Prejavuje sa problém aj v núdzovom režime? Spustite Firefox v NÚDZOVOM režime a preverte, či problémy pretrvávajú: - [SK:] Firefox - Pomocník - Reštartovať a zakázať doplnky - [CZ:] Firefox - Nápověda - Restartovat se zakázanými doplňky Ak vám to v núdzovom režime funguje správne, tak to môže spôsobovať niektoré už nekompatibilné rozšírenie Firefoxu. Navrhujem všetky rozšírenia vypnúť a postupne ich zapínať (povoľovať) až kým nezistíte, ktoré to spôsobuje. Niekedy je treba vypnúť aj hardvérovú akceleráciu. = Je tiež možné že vám zostal v profile Firefoxu zablokovaný súbor „parent.lock“. Najdite si priečinok s profilom Firefoxu a odstráňte súbor parent.lock. Firefox pri tomto nesmie bežať ani v procesech! Potom skuste spustiť Firefox normálnym spôsobom. = Ak to nepomohlo, vytvorte si NOVÝ profil Firefoxu ako test pre kontrolu, či váš súčasný profil nie je príčinou tohoto problému. Ak váš súčasný profil nie je príčinou tohoto problému, prepnite sa po kontrole späť na ten pôvodný (asi default) profil. - Windows - Spustiť (WIN+R) - a tu vypísať firefox.exe -p (alebo "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -p) http://imgbank.cz/images/2014/09/04/Firefox_profil_novy.jpg
