I just closed a restore session tab by mistake. Is there any way to get my session restored? Thank you.

When I turned on my computer this morning the "Restore Previous Session" tab came up as usual. 

By mistake I closed the "Restore Session Tab" rather than opening it.

Is there any other way to restore my previous session?

Make it a habit and use one of these to close Firefox if you are currently doing that by clicking the close X on the Firefox title bar or let the OS close Firefox (i.e. force a kill).

  • "3-bar" menu button -> Exit (Power button)
  • Linux: File -> Quit
  • Windows: File -> Exit
  • Mac: Firefox -> Quit Firefox
