Looking for help. Using and still learning FF 4.0.1. I had a crash after upgrading plugins, and I had had many open tabs. When I tried to "restore previous session" the only tab present was Mozilla Firefox tab. Is there a way to restore a session that was prior to the most recent session?

Are there any entries in Recently Closed Windows (or Tabs) after you have restored the previous session?

If not then that session is lost and you can try to find the pages via the history.

Yes there are several closed tabs in the "recently closed tabs" menu under history.

Are there any tabs among those that you recognize from that session or are they from a later session?

Did you try to restore them?

No, they are all from after that session. No, I did not try to restore them. I stopped doing anything until I got guidance and did not destroy anything.

If they are from a later session then that previous session is lost and those tabs can't be retrieved.
