I recently had to get a new hard drive for my computer as my old one no longer functioned. The problem is that when I opened my firefox browser I was not prompted to restore my last session and all of my tabs and windows are now gone. Is there a way to reset the browser to a previous date so that I can restore all of my tabs?

So let's get this straight there is no sync or backup of the Firefox data if this is correct putting new hard drive isn't going to restore your data back. You can't restore something that doesn't exists on the new hard drive to start here. So unless your old hard drive can still function to open the old hard drive and copy the data or migrate to storage device the new drive has nothing that can be recovered since the old one had the data on it only.
