Could you check your profile for for any "extra" sessionstore files? Here's how:
Open your current Firefox settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder using either
* "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Troubleshooting Information
* Help menu > Troubleshooting Information
In the first table on the page, click the "Show Folder" button
Scroll down and look for sessionstore.js (which should have a very current timestamp) and sessionstore.bak (which should be dated as of your previous session). Do you find both of those?
Do you find any extra files, such as sessionstore-1.js or other numbered files? If so, that indicates that Firefox cannot write to the main sessionstore.js file because it is locked or corrupted, as your windows/tabs are being saved in a different file. Unfortunately, Firefox can't actually restore any of those files automatically. In this situation, I believe you need to remove the sessionstore.js file (probably after exiting out of Firefox) and rename the current numbered file to sessionstore.js.
You mentioned that you checked your settings, and it didn't sound as though you had any questions about them. But... could you post your customized session history settings? Here's how:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste '''sess''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Review the preferences starting with:
* browser.sessionhistory.
* browser.sessionstore.
If you see bolded entries, which indicates that they vary from the default setting, could you right-click > Copy and post in a reply to see whether they might be relevant to this problem?

Firefox will not restore session after crash

Hello, I am writing because whenever I resume Firefox (like from a crash or restart), it will not reload my previous pages. Instead it will only open a new window and I have to dig through my history to find and reload the pages from my previous session. Firefox is set to remember history and to show my windows and tabs from last time.
My Firefox version is up to date (although it seems that the version doesn't matter). I have gone into about:config, set browser.sessionstore.max_tabs_undo to 40, set browser.sessionstore.max_windows_undo to 10, and reset broser.sessionstore.resume_from_crash to true. None of that has helped and the latter kicks back to false every time Firefox restarts.
I have had this issue occur a couple of times in the past, and if I recall, I had to create a new account. If told how to, I can do this again, but I would prefer to get to the root of the problem to prevent this from occurring again (plus I'd hate to lose all my history again). If anyone can help me with this, I'd greatly appreciate it. If you need to know anything else, feel free to ask. Thank you.

I have finally found a working solution with help from Zzxc.
You do have to create a new profile, but you can save everything from browser history to ad-ons to dictionary. It even restored the pages I had open in the old profile.
https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Managing+profiles
This shows you how to create a new profile. I left the old one and named my new one as "name" - New Default - "current date"
http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Profiles#How_to_find_your_profile
This shows you how to find all of your information and settings for both profiles. It shows you what file is what (so you can pick and choose), but if you just copy everything from inside the old profile folder and paste it into the new profile folder, you should be gold.
This seems to have worked for me. If it turns out that I copied and pasted the problem as well, I will post it here, but as of now, everything appears to be in working order. Thanks.

Updated to firefox 21.0 and now firefox will not restore session even though it is selected in options

<blockquote>Locking duplicate thread.<br>
Please continue here: [[/questions/960733]]

After firefox updated to version it stopped restoring the tabs from my previous session. firefox is still set to restore all tabs from previous session but it still won't work.

I have had similar symptoms with some malware that was installed on a client's computer. Try to scan the computer with anti-malware software and see if the problem persist..

The restore session has stopped working. It tries to load, but then gives an error message that the script is not working and will not actually show the previous tabs I had open.

I count on using the Firefox restore session feature. But it's stopped working. For the past couple of days, it hasn't worked a single time. (I haven't changed anything on my PC.) It just suddenly stopped working.
Now it gives me an error message that the script has stopped working. It gives me a couple of options. I'm not sure of the exact wording, but one option is to stop the script and the other is to keep trying. But the keep trying never works.
I have to stop the script, hence, the list with my previous tabs never comes up.

Which file is mentioned as the cause of that script error?<br />
Is that a file with a chrome protocol?

After updating my 3gs to ios 5.0.1, I can not restore my phone from my pc. It says session failed. It appears to be a backup available.

After updating my 3gs to ios5.0.1, I can not restore my phone. It says session failed after about 20 seconds. It appears to be a restore point available. What should I do?

Hi all,
I work for an Enterprise with around 30 devices so far, 5 of them have been upgraded to iOS 5.01 and we are having this issue, the steps below are appearing, these are both on iphone and ipad 2's with exchange 2003:-
- Exchange Calendars not sync'ing, but Yahoo account working fine.
- Create an appointment on the ipad / iphone and this sync's with Exchange.
- Close the Calendar and re-open the appointment disappears, but stay's within Exchange.
- Meetings created within the Exchange Calendar do not synch with the iphone / ipad.
This is starting to cause a lot of issues.
Thanks
Keith

Itunes could not restore the iphone because a session could not be started with the iphone

Recently I sent my iPhone 5 to apple service centre as my phone could not turn on and stuck at apple logo. The technician use DFU restore and successfully reboot my phone. However, all my data and content are being erased. Now I tied to restore from my back up using iTunes 12.1.0.71 with iPhone 5 iOS 8.1.3, error message pop up. itunes could not restore the iphone because a session could not be started with the iphone. However, I still can sync my iPhone to iTunes. I am so frustrated as I need to get all my contact back from my previous back up. Please help. Thanks.

Hello brendalhl,
After reviewing your post, it sounds like a session could not be started to restore from a backup. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.
If you can't back up or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod using iTunes - Apple Support
"... a session could not be started."
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Have a nice day,
Mario

FF 34 - Restoring Sessions from old folders of files recovery.bak and recovery.js that are not in the original folder. Is this possible?

After crash all the recovery files were gone. With a recovery software I could get old versions of recovery files (recovery.bak, recovery.js). I try to implement them in the new profile folder by exchanging the files, but FF34 just ioverwrites them. Unfortunalty I could not restore the old sessionstore.js file.
Any idea how I can restore the ols session with this 2 old files (recovery.bak, recovery.js)?

Did you check in a text editor that the recovered files are not corrupted and only contain ASCII text?
You would have to copy such a recovery file to the main profile folder as sessionstore.js to replace the current copy.
If you do not use "Show my windows and tabs from last time" then you need to use "History > Restore Previous Session" and possibly "History > Recently Closed Tabs/Windows".

Version 8.01 Previous session suddenly not restoring in any way.

Very recently, Firefox Version 8.01 stopped restoring the previous session. I have tried everything I could find in your help section but nothing works.
It will not restore automatically or from the History menu.
Thank you.

You can try to delete the chromeappsstore.sqlite file in the Firefox Profile Folder.

Make sure that you do not use Clear Recent History to clear the Browsing History when you close Firefox.

Firefox shut down & updated in the middle of my work; I could not restore my session; you have literally cost me my job and future.

Firefox shut down & updated in the middle of my work; I could not restore my session; you have literally cost me my job and future if this cannot be fixed. I don't understand why it updated without me prompting it to. It also never ask to report a crash.
I went to play a youtube video, my entire screen flashed, when the screen came back, the youtube video screen was green. I refreshed the page and my system stopped- a blue screen appeared and something about verifying disk or something. My system the restarted, and when I opened firefox, it first said preparing updates and when it did finally open, the new updated version, of course, I could not restore my previous session.

You can check in the Firefox profile folder to see if there are numbered sessionstore-##.js present.<br />
The sessionstore.bak file could also have a previous session.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Session_Restore
You can also try to restore a previous copy of the sessionstore.js file if there is one present that could contain that lost session.
*Right-click: Properties > Previous Versions
*http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Previous-versions-of-files-frequently-asked-questions
Be sure to make a backup copy of all sessionstore files before making changes.
You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:

Previous sessions not restore in ff 10

just updated to ff 10.0
After a crash, previous windows and tabs are not restored. History has option for session restore grayed out. Tools, Options is set for "show my windows and tabs from last time."
is this a bug in the latest version for windows?
--Bill

A whole bunch of people found a solution to this by editing the Firefox config file. See http://www.virtualhelp.me/applications/51-office/288-firefox-4-doesnt-save-tabs, (for versions 4 thru 10) or, for a start:
"A. By default this function has been disabled. To enable it, do the following:
1. In the address line, type in "about:config" (without quotation marks). Click on "I'll be careful, I promise!"
2. In the filter field, type in browser.showQuitWarning. This should filter out all other options
3. Double click on the option that is left in the list. The value should switch from "false" to "true".
4. Close about:config tab and it should work
PS: I have no idea why they did that."
As I said, that did the trick for many, tho some apparently had to change a couple other settings as well. See the post...

There is No option to restore previous session when I go into History. There is No Recent history in the History. It will show my history if I click on show History, but it won't restore it!

Hi StuckAtHomeMom
try in PRIVACY panel to set : Firefox will: Use custom settings for history and :
Uncheck: [ ] "Always use private browsing mode"
Uncheck: [ ] "Clear history when Firefox closes"
check everything else and in Accept third-party cookies, set Keep until: they expire

Itunes could not restore the iphone because the backup session failed

Hello,
i did a backup for my data on itunes, then i upgraded to IOS 6.1, when i tried to restore my backup it keeps giving me this message:
"itunes could not restore the iphone because the backup session failed".
although i still have the data in the backup folder, i searched the internet for softwares that can recover my data, i found a software called "Wondershare Dr.Fone"
i was able to recover all my data via Wondershare Dr.Fone, but it didnt restore the data to my iPhone, it only recovered it to my pc, as (media files, contacts,etc...)
i was wondering if there is any way to fix this problem, or any other way to restore my backup to my iPhone device without using Itunes...
one more thing , can i upload the backup files that i have on my pc to iCloud, then recover it from my iPhone??
please help i really need all my data to be back on my iPhone, media,messages,contacts,notes, even whatsapp messages.
Thank you

IOS 5: iTunes could not restore the iPhone "John's iPhone" because the backup session failed."

I've been battling to get my iPhone onto iOS 5 for 2 days, during which time my phone has been rendered unuseable, and is stuck on the set up menu. When I select "Restore from iTunes Backup," it tells me to connect to iTunes, so I do. I've tried to back it up 20 million times, and I think sometimes it failed, but other times the backup worked. But then, when I go to restore, I get the error message "iTunes could not restore the iPhone "John's iPhone" because the backup session failed.
So what do I do. My phone is unuseable and it doesn't seem like theres any solution.
Also, are you able to tell whether or not I've lost all of my data that is not my music/apps. Please tell me if you think I have.

Good luck. My iPod Touch did the same thing. I now have a very expensive paperweight that I'd like to stuff up someone's nose over at Apple. The "resolutions" offered by Apple don't do anything for me (they never do). There are a variety of resolutions that others have discovered but none of them have worked for me either. This is my second Touch and the second major malfunction that is probably unfixable. If I can't get this fixed and get my data restored I'll probably give this thing to my toddler to play Angry Birds and I'll go buy a device from a company that knows what their doing.
Do a search on Google (or whatever) with the error message and you should find some suggestions from others who've had this problem, some seem to have found solutions. If I find a fix that actually works I'll make a follow-up post.
