What to do when I can't restore last session?
Hi, For some reason firefox didn't restore last session's tabs. And restore session tab opened it was blank! No last session details, no restore last session bottom. Nothimg... :( I tried to restore it from history/import and backup, Got a message that it will close al my open tabs, clicked yes, only to see nothing happens. Tried to restore through mozila default home page, but where the restore last session bottom should be there's nothing... What to do? I can't lose my last session's tabs!!!

In case you are using "Clear history when Firefox closes":
- do not clear the Browsing History
- Tools > Options > Privacy > Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history": [X] "Clear history when Firefox closes" > Settings
- https://support.mozilla.org/kb/remove-browsing-search-and-download-history
Note that clearing "Site Preferences" clears all exceptions for cookies, images, pop-up windows, software installation, passwords, and other website specific data.
You can check for problems with the sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak files in the Firefox profile folder that store session data.
- Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)

Note that deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost and you will have to recreate them (make a note or bookmark them if possible).
There are other things that need your attention.

Hi cor-el, my settings are on remember browsing history. Any other ways to restore the last session? Thanks
