I accepted a Java "update". I clicked "previous session", & the Java request was now my previous session. Can I restore MY actual previous session?

Given my question as stated, I am effectively looking to go back to a previous, "previous session". The Java update wiped out all my tabs, some of which I may never be able to duplicate. Is there a solution or, did this Java update wipe out a lot of my work?

No, the only way you may try is to browse your history by clicking Control-H, latest pages will be your latest visited ones.

Marc, your answer has confirmed my worst expectation! I had hoped someone with more experience than I have would have an ingenious way to "resurrect" my tabs (the previous, "previous session") 10Q for your quick response!

I haven't tried it, but there is an add-on which can save more sessions than the built-in feature. Please be aware that for privacy reasons you probably don't want too much past session history lying around on your PC or backup disks or cloud backup...

Excellent suggestion. I have reviewed the add-on and it looks like more than enough users have tried it but, surprisingly few have rated it (less than 1%). But, at 4 stars, I'm going to take it for a test drive. The ability to save at least one extra "previous session" would have made my day. Thank you for "Scher-ing" this, Jeff!!
