Hey Firefoxy Team (*waves to firefoxy team*)

Annnnd here we go! So 3 Month ago (give or take a month) and just like approximately 350 million other users of Windows 10. Windows pushed out an update called "Windows 10 Anniversary" version 1607 (actually it was a forced update.) which to put it lightly messed up peoples computers. Anyway, I'm not going to get into all the Windows conspiracy B.S. But I will say my next purchase will be a MacBook Pro.

I would like to run a "Reset my Pc" but before I do, I would like to save my Bookmarks and Last Open Tab List / Session, in Firefox before running the "Reset my Pc." Then once I reinstall Firefox, Is it possible to reinstall my bookmarks and the last open tab list / session I had and/or was using?

Just One Note: One of my Add-on is Session Manager (if that is important for you to know)

If you would like any additional info please feel free to ask.

Backup your Firefox Profile and restore those files after the Reset of your PC.

Or you can use this extension. http://mozbackup.jasnapaka.com/

What about the last open tabs list / session I had and/or was using, will this be backed-up and/or saved also?


P.S. > the second suggestion you mentioned, or extension www.mozbackup.jasnapaka.com/ Well it was last updated May 6th, 2012. nor is it being developed anymore and "there are known issues" with it. It might be time you abandon it as a suggestion.

Yes, the files involved with sessionstore are in the Profile folder and will be saved with either.

Per the latest reports here and at mozillaZine fora about MozBackup, it still works fine. When I hear that it doesn't work any longer I'll stop mentioning it as an option.

I will let you know how it goes. 

- But just in case you don't hear back from me in 3 days.  It's probably because something with Windows went very wrong and I tossed my laptop out through the window and probably hit someone, and might be in jail for attempted assault of a deadly Laptop.
