Can I restore previous groups of tabs after accidentally opening a new session?
I had about 8 groups of 6 tabs each, open all the time. After a recent Windows update, I accidentally opened Firefox without restoring the previous session. Now I seem to have lost all those groups - do I have to re-create them all one at a time? If so, is there a way to backup the groups so this doesn't happen again?

Do you have a upgrade.js-<build_id> file that might have those tab groups?
You can use this button to go to the current Firefox profile folder:
- Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
- http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
You can backup the session files in the sessionstore-backups folder in the Firefox Profile Folder to make sure not to lose possible important session data. You can find these files in the sessionstore-backups folder:
previous.js (cleanBackup: copy of sessionstore.js from previous session that was loaded successfully) recovery.js (latest version of the sessionstore written during runtime) recovery.bak (previous version of the sessionstore written during runtime) upgrade.js-<build_id> (backup created during an upgrade of Firefox)
You can copy a file from the sessionstore-backups folder to the main profile and rename the file to sessionstore.js to replace the current file (make a backup copy of the current sessionstore.js).
