I want to rebuild my hard drive but I want to save the Firefox session (like 70 tabs) before I do so I can reload them after the rebuild. Can I save a session to another hard drive or flash drive?

The first thing you should do is update to Firefox 22 to ensure you have the most stable and secure Firefox. Update Firefox to the latest release

Then, try reading Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles

The data of the current session is stored in the sessionstore.js file in the profile folder.
