After a crash I closed out of Firefox but have not been given an option to restore my session afterwards. Also in my chronicles no sites show up. I did deactivate the history at some point. Is there anyway to recover my previously open tabs?

I have been in there before and tried to change the restore settings but could not restore my session

You can't if you disable history. Firefox assumes you disable history because you're concerned about privacy so we don't save information to the disk. However, that means that once you shut down Firefox (or it crashes) it has nothing to use to restore your session.

That is what I feared, thanks anyway for the info!
