Accidentally pushed "start new session" after crash. Tabs are gone from history.

After one of the ten crashes per day since I upgraded, I accidentally pushed, "Start New Session" instead of "restore". So, my '''closed window/tab records were wiped out''', and in my history, it only has those tabs that I opened anew this morning - NOT the ones I had saved so I could look at them later. A lot of these I had not bookmarked yet.

If you haven't closed Firefox then see if you still can restore that session via Firefox > History > Restore Previous Session.
You should update the Flash and Java plugin to the latest versions

Can I retrieve a crashed session after accidentally clicking "Start new Session"

After getting the "Embarassing" dialogue, I accidentally clicked "Start new Session" instead of restore. Is there a way to access the cache and restore those tabs and windows? I'm running Windows and have not shut down my machine since the loss.

First, find your profile folder [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Profiles?s=Profile&as=s#How_to_find_your_profile by reading this]
Then, copy the files sessionstore.bak and sessionstore.js to another folder such as your desktop.
Close your Firefox and copy the sessionstore.js to the profile folder, and restart Firefox. See if your session was restored.
If not, close firefox, proceed to copy the second file (the .bak one) to the profile folder, and rename it to sessionstore.js , overwriting the other file. Restart Firefox.
If not any of these two files has your session saved, sorry.

I accidentally chose 'Start New Session' instead of 'Resume Last Session' upon opening. Any way to recover the tabs?

Hi abass4982,
You could try going to ''History > Restore Previous Session''. It might not work, but it's worth a try!
Hopefully this helps!

Accidentally hit "Start New Session"... URLs in a crash report or something?

Ok, so I knew it would happen sooner or later, and just kept hoping it would be later...
I hit "Start New Session" instead of restore today... Looked around for previous solutions, and found no sessionstore.bak in my folder...
FF had crashed previously in the day, and I had hoped that would mean all the reloaded windows would be in today's history(some were a few months old), but that doesn't seem to be the case. (and I guess it doesn't help that my system is backdated(cause of 7100))
So I am wondering if there happens to be any sort of crash report archive that may happen to have the urls that were open in some way? Long shot I know but I figured I'd at least ask.

Hello.
Although possibly not related to your problem, I have to remind you that the version of Firefox you are using at the moment has been discontinued and is no longer supported. On top of this, it has known unpatched bugs and security problems. I urge you to update to the latest version of Firefox, for maximum security, stability, performance and usability. You can get it for free, as always, at [http://www.getfirefox.com getfirefox.com].
If you haven't closed Firefox since then, you can access ''about:sessionrestore'' to restore the lost session. If you closed Firefox in the mean time, I believe there's no way to get your session back. [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Session+Restore Session Restore] will always get your last session back, and solely the last session.
P.S.: I'm not certain ''about:sessionrestore'' is available in old versions of Firefox. Versions of Firefox before 3.5 are no longer supported, in any case, as I said.

When i close window with multiple tabs angd start new session (open new window) old tabs open again, how can i stop it?

when i close window with multiple tabs and start new session (open new window) old tabs open again, how can i stop it?

It is possible that there is a problem with the files [http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js sessionstore.js] and sessionstore.bak in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder]
Delete [http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js sessionstore.js] and sessionstore.bak in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder]
* Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well.
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note).

Start new session automatically after the current one is expired

Hi Guys,
My application should be displayed on the screen 24/7 . The information there is being refreshed every 5 minutes. When the APEX session is expired the refresh stops working and the page has to be reloaded.
I'm looking for the solution that would allow to keep the application always on and to start new session automatically without a human being involved.
Thanks in advance,
Elena

Hi everybody,
Being impatient, I've already found a solution. I created a JavaScript function the reloads the page. Instead of current session ID in the url I use 1. In this case apex generates the new session.
The Timer Plug-in runs the function every X minutes.
The function code is the following:
function reload() {
     var url = location.href;
     var g_app_id = '&APP_ID.';
     var g_page_id = '&APP_PAGE_ID.';
     var patt = new RegExp("[^=]+","i"); // i - Perform case-insensitive matching
     var newUrl = url.match(patt) + "=" + g_app_id + ":" + g_page_id + ":1";
     window.location.assign(newUrl);
I hope it might be helpful for you guys.
Regards,
Elena

When closing Firefox, after reopening it, my tabs are gone, even though I have Firefox set to remember session.

When closing Firefox, after reopening it, my tabs are gone, even though I have Firefox set to remember session. However, after several hours and opening and closings of Firefox, it will open tabs from the old session, for no apparent reason.

You can check for problems with the sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak files in the Firefox profile folder that store session data.
Delete the sessionstore.js file and possible sessionstore-##.js files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox profile folder.
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Multiple_profile_files_created
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost and you will have to recreate them (make a note or bookmark them if possible).
In case you are using "Clear history when Firefox closes":
*do not clear the Browsing History
*Tools > Options > Privacy > Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history": [X] "Clear history when Firefox closes" > Settings

Hi Scott,
I am facing the same problem. I have created one application process with process condition On New Session: After Authentication. In this application process i am checking for :app_user in particular table, if the person does not exist i am inserting a record in to the table. But every time :app_user is having null value with On New Session: After Authentication process condition. It is working fine for remaining process conditions.
Thanks in advance for your help

[SOLVED] KDE Start New Session doesn't work from lock screen

On my laptop, if I lock the KDE 4 session and then click Switch Users > Start New Session, I get a login screen and can log in as a different user. All good.
If I do the same thing on my desktop, it doesn't work. When I click Switch Users > Start New Session, it doesn't start a new session or switch VTs. Instead, I just get reprompted for the existing user's password.
Both machines are running fully updated Arch. Anyone know how I can troubleshoot this? The only difference I can think of between the laptop and desktop is that the desktop has nomodeset specified as a kernel boot parameter. (It won't boot without it.) Could this be interfering with automatic VT switching? Manual VT switching (e.g. Ctrl+Alt+F1) works fine.

Little more detail. Checking the journal, I can see Xorg is failing to start on display :1. If I compare Xorg.0.log with Xorg.1.log, it appears that it's not finding the proprietary NVIDIA driver in the second case. Don't know why it would be any different for :1, though. See?

Itunes ask me to start a session in the tv area

I'm trying to start iTunes Match in a different computer once I'm already logged on with my user and a window pops up asking me to start a session in the "tv" area in the tv (I don't really know what they mean)
Tks

The option mentioned in the reply appears available but doesn't restored the session I needed at all. Now, I tried to close this session and Firefox warned me, just the way it used to. :|
Why it seems to be working normally again? Are there any options I should de/activate not to occur this once again. Some of the tabs I've lost ain't even in the browser history... Yes, I have to start using bookmarks.
Thanks a lot

Hi were you able to resolve yours?
I was very worried losing all my medical stuff on my iPad Air 2, plus i have nothing to use for the next day! So i have to try all the possible things i read on the internet!! And this worked on my part (Thank God, and thank you Google)
Perform a hard reboot
Hold down the Home button and Power button on your iPhone or iPad and keep holding them until you see the Apple logo. Once you do, you can let go. When your device boots back up, go ahead and check to see if the apps have started re-downloading. If they still appear to be stuck, continue on.

HT204053 My daughter and me use the same cloud ID and to buy songs and now all her contacts ended up on my new iphone 5 and I manually erased all from my phone and now they are gone from her phone. How does she get back her contacts?

My daughter and me use the same cloud and apple id to buy songs in the past. I got first iphone 5 and after trying to set up itunes to phone I ended up with all my daughters contacts from her iphone on my iphone. I then deleted them from my phone one by one and now they are gone from her phone as well. How does she get them back on hers and what happen???? Help with cloud!

That's what happens when you share the same iCloud account. First, migrate his phone to a different iCloud account using a different ID (you can continue to share the same ID for other services such as iTunes if you want). To do this, on his phone save any photo stream photos that he wants to keep to his camera roll (unless already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow), then tapping Save to Camera Roll. If he are syncing notes with iCloud that he wants to keep, you'll need to open each of your notes and email them to him so he can later copy and paste the text into new notes created in his new account. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account (which only deletes it from this device, not from iCloud; this won't effect your phone), provide the password to turn off Find My iPhone and choose Keep on My iPhone when prompted. Then sign back in with a different Apple ID to create his new account and choose Merge to upload the data. After doing this, he can go to icloud.com and safely delete your data from his new account.
Then, if your contacts were on your phone when you last backed it up to iCloud, you can restore them by following Winston Churchill's user tip here: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4841. This involves turning off your wifi after your phone restarts during the restore process, then saving the contacts on your phone and deleting them from iCloud prior to turning your wifi back on and allowing the restore process to finish. You can turn off your wifi either by pulling the cord out of the WAN port in your wifi router, or by simply unplugging it.

When launching safari all my tabs are gone ?

sometimes when launching safari all my tabs are gone ? why ???
and secondly why i have to relogin in this apple discussion every time i turn off my computer ?

Another way would be to open System Preferences > General, and untick "Close windows when quitting an application". This applies to all applications."
DONT SEE THAT OPTION IN MY SAFARI PREFERENCE ???
"Another way is to open Safari menu > Preferences > General, and you will see an option that allows you to open Safari with the tabs opened."
ONLY SEE AN OPTION SAYING "SAFARI OPENS WITH ALL WINDOWS FROM LAST SESSION" WHICH I HAD ALREADY TICK ON BUT SEEMS NOT WORKING EVERY TIME FOR SOME UNKNOWN REASONS !! ??
