How can I do a Session Restore after a crash from a week or so ago (i.e. not most recent)

After a recent FF crash (Vsn 13.0.1 - I know) on the next start up it asked if I wanted to restore session, said yes - then realised all previous tabs were missing. Shut down and re-started nothing happened so checked Task List and found multiple versions (2) of FF in memory - ended those sessions.

Tried to rename/re-use sessionstore.js and sessionrestore.bak but didn't contain tabs wanted, so I need to know if there is a way to 'undelete' previous sessionrestore.js files and use the one from a week or so ago to restore the tabs from then? I presume the same renaming procedure is used - could someone direct me to the procedure to do this?

Thanks.

Depending on how Windows reallocated disk storage, you might or might not be able to "undelete" files on disk. The more disk activity in the interim, the less likely you can recover uncorrupted files.

There is an add-on that can maintain multiple session history files, but of course that doesn't help you at this point.

Can you find the links you need by searching in or browsing through your History (Ctrl+Shift+h)?

I can find multiple (deleted) Sessionstore.js files with different dates and times in the n33mpvib.default folder, in 'good' condition. I have tried to save 1 from last week (to a different drive, E:) and then renamed sessionstore.js to *.old and copied in the recovered sessionstore.js from E: into n33mpvib.default folder, and restarted FF - didn't work.

I can see all the tabs I had previously opened in the History, but can't remember which were still open (active) at the time of the crash.

Is there something I am not doing correctly in the first paragraph procedure?

Did you check History > Restore Previous Session or Recently Closed Windows/Tabs to see if that would bring back the tabs?

See this MozillaZine forum thread about other ways to extract the URLs from a sessionstore.js file.
