Location of open tabs on hard drive
Hello, my laptop has died today but I have recovered the files from the hard drive. i had many open tabs in firefox before the death.
Is there any known way to get the urls of the open tabs or are they lost forever?

those might still be available on your backed-up hdd in the firefox profile folder in a file called sessionstore.js (there might also be backups like sessionstore.bak or sessionstore-1/2/3/....js - pick the one that is most up to date & rename it to sessionstore.js in case copy that). copy the sessionstore-js file (or the renamed version) to your current profile folder while firefox is closed and see if the session is getting restored automatically or you can try restoring it from the history menu.

Sessionstore.js contained the tab urls, thanks MP!
