Hi mjpsports:

Sorry to hear about this.

  1. Perhaps the old tabs are in the History Menu (on Windows hit Alt first to see the History menu->Restore Previous Session)?
  2. If not you might be able to get them from your Firefox profile
    1. Type in about:profiles in the address bar, then click Open Folder (Windows) or Show in Finder (Mac). Click on sessionstore-backups and then you will see files ending with ".js" and ".jsonlz4"
    2. Open our amazing volunteer (most of Firefox support is done by volunteers) jscher2000's "Scrounger" website: https://www.jeffersonscher.com/res/scrounger.html and then drag and drop the ".js" and ".jsonlz4" files one a time and you can hopefully retrieve your lost tabs
  3. I figured out the above from: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1182134#answer-1022603

Cheers!

...Roland
