Since update to 20.0.1 I have lost the "restore points" I used to have under "Tools". My life is now ruined. How can i get back to where I was a week ago?

I am operating under Windows XP SP3. I have always,previously, been able to restore my "crashed" sessions under Mozilla Firefox. Since "trusting" in the most recent update to Mozilla, my life is now in "RUINS". I hope you have a way for me to get back to the "world" that was working for me to finish a project me and my late wife, Joy, were working on that I had "many" tabs opened to accomplish this "tribute" and "honor" to her memory. If not, damn you to Hell for what you have done to me!!!!!!!

You might be able to find those sites from your browser history. I do not trust to session store entirely. I make heavy use of bookmarks. They are easy to back up and restore.

Is it possible you were using the Session Manager extension for this functionality of having multiple restore points on the Tools menu? You can check whether it became disabled, and check for an update, as follows.

  • orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Extensions category - note that the disabled extensions cluster in a grayed out area at the bottom
  • orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > "gear" icon > Check for Updates
