Hi I had some tabs open in private browsing which have frozen. Each tab has history but won't let me go back or forward. I have tried closing the tabs and pressing undo as this sometimes works but it didn't help. I really don't want to lose the tab history as it is in private browsing so won't be saved in history. Does anyone know a way to restore the tabs?

You can save the current session via the Browser Console.

  • prompt('Current Session State',SessionStore.getBrowserState());

You can restore this session via this code:

  • if(ssj=prompt('Restore Session','?')){SessionStore.setBrowserState(ssj)}

You can enable the command-line in the console via one of the Developer Tools like the Inspector (Ctrl+Shift+I).
