How do I restore my last tab session?

more options

I've been searching around but can't come across an answer to actually get my tab session back on Firefox. I've got the most up to date one 34.0.5 Restore Tab Session is greyed out. On the Firefox start page there is nothing there. People on forums seemed to mention something in the way of sessionstore.bak and other similar files but I can't seem to find them. Is there a spot that the sessions get stored that I can restore from?

Thank you.

"Restore Tab Session" isn't a default menu item in Firefox. "Restore Previous Session" is the English locale menu item wording.

Do you have a "tab / session" related add-on installed? Or are you using other then an English locale version of Firefox?


Also, can you provide a screenshot of the your homepage?

It is best to use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot and make sure that you do not exceed a maximum file size of 1 MB.
Then use the Browse .... button below the Post a Reply text box to upload the screenshot.
