Unable to restore previous session, restore backup
My firefox crashed, but when I rebooted, one of my windows had Yahoo.com on all of the tabs, not the original content. I tried restarting firefox multiple times and could not get the tabs back. Now I can't get the windows back either. I've lost all tabs and windows. (Originally about 6 windows of unfinished/unread work) Any suggestions? I've tried repeatedly to do a Restore of previous backup but it doesn't restore the windows, just the bookmarks and toolbar.
