Because TabGroups didn't work, I hoped reloading Session Manager might fix it, but instead I lost years of Sessions. Can I get them back?

Some months ago, Firefox TabGroups stopped working (I could no longer drag tabs into groups. Any attempt would simply create a new, empty group). Frustrated that I had hundreds of tabs I could not group, and assuming that an add-on may be to blame, I sought a fix by doing a reinstall of Session Manager. After the reinstall, I noticed that all of my Firefox sessions from 2015 and 2014 were gone, and the only previous sessions that were listed in the Session Manager were from 2013. My guess is that the new install was pre-set to only keep a certain number of sessions, and it counted them out, starting from the beginning of my profile in 2013. My question is, can I get access to my other sessions, and if so, how? Also, I am a computer neophyte and will need to be walked through... Thanks!!!

HI toddly, Uninstalling an addon removes all files associated with the add on. If you have a back up of your profile from before you reinstalled the addon the data is recoverable. However Session Manager also has a support contact on their addons page that you can contact to find out if there is more to the back up. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/fire.../session-manager/(right column on the page)

I also noticed that you have more than one version of Flash installed, for security purposes I recommend uninstalling the older version from the plugins page.
