After updating adobe flash and restarting firefox for mac, as requested, can't restore previous session

using macbook pro with os 10.7.5, was recommended to update adobe flash while in firefox (22.0). did so, which required closing and restarting firefox during flash update. when complete, firefox opened automatically to adobe flash window and restore previous session was grayed out. can't figure out how to find and restore the tabs i had been using. related questions and answers don't find a solution. my settings are all normal and do not appear to have any relation to the problem. rather, it seems to be the closing and reopening of firefox associated with the updating of flash that nuked any memory of my previous session. is there a solution?

i found my own solution to my problem! first of all, DON'T QUIT FIREFOX -- to be sure the current undesirable session doesn't become the "previous session". instead, open a new window (command-N). in my case, it opened to my usual default url and, while in that window (either before or after closing the first browser window that had opened automatically after updating adobe flash), the "restore previous session" option in history menu reappeared! clicked on it and, from then on, things just worked normally.

    It's absolutley scandalous that a company with Apple's resources can let this happen.  They should have staggered the release by region rather than opening the flood gates.  The upgrade itself took me about 10 attempts to download it, and then I thought I was home free.  That was until it rebooted and won't activate.  It's over 2 hours now.
    Scandalous!

    I get a 'blocked plug-in' message when trying to view video, such as youtube. I have updated adobe flash, and have enabled plug-ins - still doesn't work.

    Hey reslosson,
    The article linked below provides more information about the blocked plug-in alert that you are seeing and will walk you through the process of changing the security settings in Safari.

  • My father-in-law passed recently, leaving behind an unopened copy of CS 5.5 Master Collection Student and Teacher Edition for Macs.  How can I find out if he registered this software without opening it?

    Hello forum,
    Hopefully a simple question.  My father-in-law passed recently, leaving behind an unopened copy of CS 5.5 Master Collection Student and Teacher Edition for Macs.  How can I find out if he registered this software without opening it?  After finding out how much this software runs, I'd like to sell or return it if possible to give the money to my mother-in-law for funeral costs.
    Thank you,
    Bichonfreeze 

    Mylenium,
    Thanks for the quick response!
    Thats a shame that it can't be used. Are you sure I couldn't donate the software to a university or school?  It just seems like a big waste for something so expensive.

  • After updating Adobe Flash, Firefox does not work

    I have Windows Vista.
    I just recently downloaded Firefox and it had that bar at the top of the internet url saying to update Adobe Flash or that the Adobe Flash plug in doesn't work. So I clicked on that and it took me to the Firefox site with the raccoon, with a list of things I might need to update.
    So I updates Adobe Flash to
    ActiveX: 11.4.402.278
    Plug-In Version: 11.4.402.278
    After that Firefox will open to my homepage which is the most visited with thumbnails of websites. But when I choose one, enter a website in the url, or click a favorite it fails to load.
    What do I do now?

    Thank you so much for responding to my question right away! You really helped me out. I've been so swamped in my school work and job I haven't had time to do anything else. Thanks alot for giving me a fast, straight to the point answer :) my problem is solved!

  • I updated Adobe flash and when I re-opened firefox all of my bookmarks, add-ons, extensions, history were gone. How do I retrieve?

    When updated Adobe flash, I was asked to close the browser window. I complied and when I re-opened, firefox was different and all of my stuff was gone.

    go to Tools Menu -> Add-ons -> Extensions section -> Disable and Remove the add-ons that look unwanted or suspicious -> Enable trustworthy add-ons -> Restart Firefox.

  • I am unable to update Adobe Flash and want it activated.Thanks

  • I have update adobe flash, and it still crashes, why can't y'all fix the problem?

    everyday sometimes 3 or 4 times firefox crash....i have updated adobe flash.....

    Mozilla doesn't make Flash, Adobe does, so it's up to them to fix their stuff.
    I'm still using Shockwave Flash 10.1 r53.64 and don't have the crashing problems that to two newer 10.2 and 10.3 versions are having. But I am using WinXP, not Win7, so YMMV.

  • Can't restore previous session (greyed out); lost all tabs and groups

    I've had a similar problem with FireFox version 30 as found in the following question: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/997956?esab=a&as=aaq
    I lost all my tabs including those in two groups (maybe 100 tabs) that I'd been keeping for a couple of years and in some cases much longer. Very occasionally I'll get the "oops this is embarrassing" message from FF and when I click on the Restore Previous Session button they reappear.
    What happened this time is that when booting my computer (Windows 7), Adobe Flash wanted to download an update, and instead of waiting for the boot to finish as I normally would, I clicked on the Adobe Flash Download Update button. It then opened FF and hung, so I eventually used Task Manager to end FF. After the computer finished booting, when I opened FF it had no open tabs or groups, and the Restore Previous Session option (and each of the other options in that grouping in the History menu) was greyed.
    When investigating, I find I do have the sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak files from yesterday (each about 4.5 mb), but I don't know how to access them because the Restore Previous Session option is greyed.

    Awesome. And maybe back up your sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak files somewhere outside of your Firefox settings folder in case you need them for a future recovery. (That would involve copying them back to your active profile folder while Firefox is closed so it finds them when it starts back up again.)
