Laptop crashed; afterwards instead of clicking "restore session" I clicked "start new session" (argh); now I'd really like to recover the previous session before crash. There's a single default profile; so I've been looking for restore data in other locations. A system restore in the control panel did not recover it. All browsing history has been saved. Is this possible to do? Much obliged.

Jump to After a crash - After a crash. To restore your previous session, select the windows or tabs you want to restore and click Restore Session. If Firefox continues to experience errors when windows and tabs are re-opened, you can launch Firefox without restoring these items. To start a new session, click Start New Session.
