How do I recover my lost tabs after updating to Firefox v33?

Problem: After update to v33, I am unable to restore my lost tabs and GROUP tabs from my previous session, which was last night at 6:38 pm EST.
Here are the steps that I have taken:
1) History > Restore previous session is greyed out.
2) I have checked to make sure that I had configured session restore by going to Options > General panel > When Firefox starts: > Show my windows and tabs from last time.
3) I have right-clicked on Firefox > Properties > Previous Versions. But since I never set up any sort of restore configuration, there were no previous versions available.
4) I have tried to look for the sessionstore.js file in my profile folder to replace it with my sessionstore.bak file because the date for that file was last modified at 10/14/2014 6:38pm. However, I can not find the session.js file and the only sessionstore-related files that I see are: session.rdf, sessionCheckpoints.json, sessionstore.bak, sessionstore.bak-20140923175406.
Please help! I had a lot of tabs. I don't want to go to History to find my tabs one by one because I also had GROUPs of tabs that I have not opened in a month or more and each group of tabs have many tabs in them too.

Hi magasx, I'm trying to understand the part about previous.js. That was not helpful because it wasn't an early enough version of your session? In your screenshot it is a very large file, and so is your recovery.js. Did you check the list of closed windows and tabs that appears on the History menu to see whether what you're missing appears there?
Your screen shot shows a 9MB file from March 22nd, it's the last one in the list. To try that file, I suggest copying it to a safe place, and then when Firefox is closed, renaming the current sessionstore.js file to sessionstore.old and copying in the upgrade...js file and renaming it to sessionstore.js. Then when you start Firefox, Restore Previous Session. Does that get you close?

  • How do I recover apps lost during ios update?

    I just updated Ipad to ios 5 successfully but I lost a bunch of apps. What happened? How do I recover them?

    As long as the apps are still available in the store, and you use the same iTunes account as you originally used to buy them, then you should be able to re-download them for free : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519 . If you download them to your computer's iTunes you could then try restoring to your backup and see if that restores them and their settings/content - a backup doesn't contain the actual apps, just their content/settings, so for the restore to work fully iTunes needs access to the apps so that it can restore them.

  • How can I restore my settings, etc. after update to Firefox 20 reset everything?

    Windows 7 Starter, Firefox 20; running from non-administrator account (possibly the cause of issues):
    I updated to Firefox 20, and everything was reset (i.e. homepage, bookmarks, passwords, addons).
    I searched online for solutions but it hasn't helped me (i.e. Profile Manager).
    I located the profiles folder, and it contains one folder called: shunltlp.default
    the folder seems to have all the necessary files, e.g. bookmarks, key3, etc.
    How can I get Firefox to use these files, and restore my settings, etc.?
    Thanks,
    Davoid.

    Hi cor-el,
    Thanks for the reply.
    I had been to that page during my search for solutions but found it a bit confusing, although I did create a new profile but didn't understand the choose folder part.
    I re-read the instructions and I have been able to restore my old profile.
    So, thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
    Re: running my Firefox from a non-administrator account
    I think this may have been the cause of the profile problem.
    I.e. when I selected 'Choose a folder' when creating the new profile, the default folder path was Administrator> etc., where as my old profile was not there, but in Username> etc. folder path...
    I understand browsing from a non-administrator account is the sensible security option, but is causes other problems when installing updates...
    Thanks for the help. It's much appreciated.
    Davoid.

  • How to get back all lost photos after updating the iOS8?

    When I updated my IOS8 I thought I lost my photos, so I have restored my iPhone but after restoring I have discovered that I lost all my photos, please advise how can get/ retrieve all the lost photos specially since I didn't do backup?

    If you backed up to iCloud, you might be able to choose from more than one backup. Each backup made in iTunes on your computer usually replaces the older one, except if you use a backup to restore from. Go to iTunes/Edit/Preferences/Devices and check if there are more backups listed, which you can then use to restore.
    Check these articles about backups:
    Create and delete iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch backups in iTunes
    Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes

  • How do I recover a lost folder?

    How do I recover a lost folder on my MackBook Pro, (2011, Yosemete 10.10.2) ?  I was cleaning up a folder when suddenly it was gone!  "Finder" can not find it.  It is not in Trash.  It is gone!  Help Please!!!

    You can restore a JSON backup in Firefox if you have such a backup.<br />
    * Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Restore > Choose File
    Restoring a JSON will however replace all the current bookmarks.<br />
    If you have any that you want to preserve then you need to export the bookmarks to an HTML file and re-import that HTML backup after you have restored the JSON backup.<br />
    Make sure that a JSON backup has .json file extension and that an HTML backup has a .html fle extension to avoid problems (nothing happens or you get an error like can't process the backup file).

  • How do I recover a "lost" font in Pages?  The font file appears to exist in my MS Office area.

    How do I recover a lost font in pages?  The font management process seems very opaque, lots of areas on the hard drive with font folders.  None seems to match the list of fonts I can pull down from the font menu in Pages.  At the moment, the font I need is Century Gothic, which does reside in the MS Office area, but nowhere else that I can find.  Would greatly appreciate help!
    thanks much,  Eilert

    Thanks for the idea, fruhulda.  I just checked (Jul 18) and the "missing" font is there.  However, yesterday I tried a full restart of my computer, and it seemed to fix (?) the problem, so I still am not sure what happened.  At any rate, the problem is now gone.

  • I recently updated the iOS on my ipad 3 and lost all my files in the process. How do I recover my lost files which were not previously backed up?

    I recently updated the iOS on my ipad 3 and lost all my files in the process. How do I recover my lost files which were not previously backed up?

    If you don't have them backed up somewhere, then there's little possibility of recovering them. There are some utilities that can in some cases recover an inadvertently-deleted photo, but I've found none that can recover photos or other data from an iPad that was erased as part of an iOS upgrade. You can do a web search for something like "iPhone photo recovery" and you'll find some utilities you can try.

  • I resently upgraded my OS to Snow Leopard, but the information in my address book did not transfer.  How can I recover the lost information?

    I upgraded to Snow Loepard OS.  But not all the information in the address book was transfered.  How can I recover the lost information from my old address book?

    No I did not make a copy of my address book. 
    Some information was moved over, many did not.
    I do not see a pattern.
    I think all the info is still on the hard drive, I just don't know how to recover it.

    As long as you enabled it when you first activated your Iphone, it's pretty straightforward.  Using any computer, go to icloud.com.  Sign in with your Apple ID. A screen will come up with a map showing the general location of your phone.  If you have a friend with an iphone and are logged in using Safari, when you get close, you can tell your iphone to make a sound.  Good luck.

  • How can I recover my lost iPhone4 passcode?

    How can I recover my lost iPhone4 passcode?

    If you mean you lost the passcode for your iPhone, you cannot recover it.  You can reset it by attaching the iPhone to your computer with iTunes and restore the iPhone from the most recent backup.  That removes the passcode.
    If iTunes does not recognize the iPhone or let you restore, attach in recovery mode by starting iTunes, connect the USB end of the cable then while holding the home button on the iPhone connect the dock connector end of the cable.  iTunes should then ask if you want to restore.

    Hi,
    If the tracks were not in your iTunes library on your computer when you subscribed to match, I am afraid that they are lost. Do you have a separate back up of this music?
