I lost previous sessions after Firefox update and then crash to desktop

Hi

Some hours ago I updated Firefox but after launching it I encountered a crash to desktop and the next time that I launched Firefox instead of my previous sessions I encountered a blank page!!! Then I closed Firefox and shut down PC.

It should be noted that "Restore Previous Session" button does not exist in History menu!

Is there any hope that I can get my lost sessions back or not?

I didn't work.

I got this msg:

Sorry. We’re having trouble getting your pages back.

It seems I have to solve my problem by myself.

Hello, Oh, I,m sorry to hear that! But why need your pages back so desperately? You can't found them in a history? Or from a Menu > Options > Home > New Windows and New Tabs on a new tab page if you activate bookmarks you don't see one of your favorite sites? Another idea: If you are on Windows you can use Task View and see one of your earlier activity. https://www.windowscentral.com/how-use-task-view-windows-10 The final thought: Thing at your lost session like a opportunity to search again and find a new things Have a nice day!
