I opened Firefox after a restart and it suddenly crashed (didn't even create a crash report). When I reopened it again, it brought me up to the Restore Session error page and I click Restore. Unfortunately, it did not restore all my windows and tabs and I was missing three windows with tabs. I tried to bring the Restore Session error page and it was empty.

Luckily, I was able to recover an earlier version of sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak. However, when I copied them to the profile folder, it just opens one window of my home page. I am not sure what is going on here. Could someone (Firefox Tech Support) please look at these files to see what is going on? I really need those three windows!


Thank you for your time,

Happened again! This time I had sessionstore.js from my current session copied in another location. This is not right!
