Can I recover my tabs and tab groups if "Restore previous session" fails? Is there a back-up option that I can retrieve them from?

So I would like to be able to hit a "save now" button and have my current session be saved within my mozilla account. Is this possible?

In the past I have closed Mozilla with restore previous session active, but it has not saved my session. I would like a way to recover me seesion if this happens.

Thanks, J.

You can look at Session Manager to have a more reliable support for restoring a session.

FF is normally quite good at restoring any tabs from before it crashed BUT it loses the *previous* session tabs info. 

 If I'm in the middle of something multi-tab and important (and sadly using a lot of RAM) and just want a brief mini-session of something unrelated, I close FF (with the intention of using Restore Previous Session later) and restart.  That's usually fine BUT if FF crashes during my mini-session, it loses all the important stuff I had previously been doing.
  Can you please ensure (when crashing) that FF record the previous session details too ?    Thanks.
