recovering several lost sessions that were all lost at once (numerous important pages up)
i receieved a message after my session crashed saying "Well, this is embarrassing..." and then listed all of the pages that were up in tabs on my session... I accidentally clicked "close" rather than restore and then lost everything... Ive tried everything i can think of to recover my tabs but no luck so far... I tried to set it so that when i opened firefox that it would "restore tabs from last time" but that didnt work and the restore previous session in the drop down is grayed out... is there anything i can do to recover the tabs or at least bring back the "well this is embarrassing" screen so that i can see which pages i had open? Please help... thanks

Hello aaronj29, enter about:sessionrestore in the Location Bar (address/awesome bar) to force the Restore Session page to appear. The session data is stored in sessionstore.js file, in the profile folder.
see for more info : Session Restore - Troubleshooting
thank you
You can try to restore a previous version of the sessionstore.js or sessionstore.bak file.
i typed about:sessionrestore in the location bar and it brought the page back up but it was empty without my webpages in it... I found the two files you mentioned sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak ... however i am not quite sure what to do from there... I right click it and then click restore previous versions? when i do that the most recent one is from 02/28/13 - does this mean that all of my webpages within the last week are gone? thanks for your help... in helping me try to figure this out
please reply- thanks
You will have to check if you can restore a version of sessionstore.js from just before the crash that caused that session to get lost.
If not then your session data is lost and in that case you can try to check the history if that hadn't been cleared as well.
i dont understand HOW to restore it thought... after i restore the file... how do i pull up the old session... Am i supposed to be able to just open firefox in a new browser and then all of my old pages will come up? I dont understand how to retrieve my webpages in the browser after i perform the restore on the file... any insight would be helpful on this- thanks.
