Refreshed firefox, lost all previous sessions of Session Manager

From time to time I refresh firefox. I use Session Manager add-on to keep every important website. After refreshing and re-installing Session Manager I've always seen that the previous sessions are still there, so I never had to worry about copying the old sessionw from the profile folder.

After the latest updates, maybe something has changed, because now I cannot see any of my old sessions, after doing the thing I wrote above. Refreshed Firefox,but no old sessions in Session Manager. How can I find my old sessions? Are they completely lost? Please help me retrieve them.

When you say "after refreshing" do you mean using Firefox's Refresh feature? Because that should remove both your extensions AND their data. The old settings folder with the data would have been moved to the desktop and placed inside an Old Firefox Data folder. Can you find that?

I don't know enough about Session Manager to know how to transfer its data to your current profile. Hopefully either someone else knows that, or the information is available in a help site or forum for that extension.
