I have just upgraded my pc, new motherboard, cpu, ram and m.2 drive, of which I made a clone of my previous windows installation, on first opening it had the previous session, where i had opened another tab while it had the restore session tab open, this usually isn't a problem.

However it lost the session to restore, I have tried a complete copy from %APPDATA%/Roaming/Mozilla over to the new system, but to no avail, the session can still be restored on the other setup currently, which I had copied over manually to try resolve.

I even tried to copy the files 1 by one to test from sessionstore-backups and renaming to sessionstore.jsonlz4, however upon opening firefox, it rewrites the 9.5MB file with a 2KB file and I have no session to restore.

Is there a way I can resolve this as I don't remember all the tabs, I do need to go through them, but several I had open to return to.

Any help would be appreciated so I can get these back and go through them, would be easier than trying to copy all the URL's one by one to check them

It works with new tabs, i just can't get it to restore the older one's and the tabs still work on the other system, I had already seen that thread too, it's all same windows accounts, firefox profile as the other system as it was cloned over, it's not making sense to me with even trying to overwrite all files on appdata/local.. appdata/roaming and appdata/localow with all stuff relating to Mozilla, incase something had changed in newer versions and there's something linked in all those areas and it still refused to restore the tabs.

On first open after replacing all those files, it had open a single tab i had open before last close, like it was ignoring all files in appdata as they had all just been replaced with a setup with all the older tabs in place.
