How to restore last session that was lost by firefox
i need to restore the last ....i had a lot of open tabs and today mozilla lost them.....can i get them back
There are also some backups in the sessionstore-backups folder in the Firefox profile folder.
You can check their file dates to see if there is one that might have that session.
You can make a backup copy of all the files in that folder elsewhere in a safe location and copy the .js file to sessionstore.js in the main profile folder to replace the current copy.
*Tools > Options > General > Startup: "When Firefox Starts":<br>"Show my windows and tabs from last time"
You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:

The opportunity to re-start in Firefox is not even activated
Check that the Bookmarks Toolbar is visible and that the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is still placed on the Bookmarks Toolbar.
If the menu bar is hidden then press F10 or hold down the Alt key, that should make the "Menu Bar" appear.
Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible: "View > Toolbars"
* Open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout" (Linux, Windows)
* Check that the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is on the Bookmarks Toolbar
* If the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is not on the Bookmarks Toolbar then drag it back from the toolbar palette in the customize window to the Bookmarks Toolbar
* If you do not see the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" or other items that are missing in the toolbar palette or on a toolbar then click the "Restore Default Set" button

How can I obtain prior history that was lost on Firefox restart?
I installed the update of Firefox, restarted and Firefox had lost all my tabs, did not save them, and lost all my history. I want to go back to those tabs and open all of them. Was working on a project and need those websites to finish!
You can't. If you had a backup of the places.sqlite file from before deleting the browsing history, you could restore that file. As far as "never remember my history", nothing is saved or "recorded".

The first thing I did was reopen encoder and hit play on encoding. Now it says 10 hours!!!! RRRRR make it stop

the computer shut down sometime in the middle of the night, maybe a windows update- how knows. There was a foxfire update install pending. When I got to the computer this morning I had to restart foxfire and it did the install. But I never had a "restore last session" question or opportunity from foxfire. Favorites is OLD information, not what I use day in, day out; I use the tabs for that. I need last session restored.
== This happened ==
Not sure how often
== this morning (last night)That's not a lot of help, corel. 'It's gone.'
May 2012 and it's still happening, especially after a version upgrade; that's not anything like a crash, it's just an upgrade, handled by the user. But the programmers seem so preoccupied with their creation that they fail to notice that a close of one version and an opening of a new is just an ordinary operation to a user [if you're an administrator]. We expect stopping and starting to work, and our last sessions to be remembered over that 'great divide'.
What's so radical about respecting a user's environment?

How to restore a session before last session on mozilla ?
how to restore a session before last session on mozilla ? i had more than 100 tabs opened, some of them were important... :(
a bak file wont help me...You can also try right-clicking on an empty space in the profile folder > '''Properties''' > '''Previous Versions''' to check if there are older versions at the folder level. If there is an older dated version, select it > '''Open''' and browse for the sessionstore.js file. Other than that you could also try to retrieve as much as possible by checking the Firefox '''History''' library ('''Alt''' + '''S''') > '''Show All History'''.

When I updated my iPhone 4Sto IOS 7.0.3 I lost all of the events and appointments that were on my calendar. HOw can I retrieve everything that was on my calendar?
Same here. Besides the phone randomly crashing all the time I now also lost my calendar.
I did a backup to iCloud and then updated the phone and I assumed it would get the data back from iCloud...
Anybody hae a fix for this? Do I need to trigger a restore in iTunes? It seems that the calendar is still on iCloud but I fear that the empty calendar on the phone will wipe that.
Really makes this device slowly unusable and not good advertising to upgrade the hardware.... -
i can't do anything when i open it up - it's greyed out -- have tried everything i can think of -- says restoring last session but never comes on - just says not responding if i try to click on toolbar or anywhere
A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

Not much you can do. You overwrote your current data with older data when you restored the phone from that backup. Your data's gone.

How can I restore the music that was on my iPod to my computer or another iPod?
My iPod classic has failed with an HDD error. I've tried recover mode and everything, it's goosed. Half my music was only on the iPod, a collection over the years from my various computers, it was backed up using itunes however. How can i restore the music that was on my iPod to my computer or another iPod? (dont have another classic, only shuffle and iphone) I'm guessing itunes holds some kind of virtual image of the ipod classic somewhere. THanks in advance for any info, google didn't produce anything I could use.
That is stealing. Your friend does not have the right to give her music away. Delete them and purchase your own music.

Chrome did something. Insetad of all my Bookmarks, settings and Apps it's a fresh Chrome. Like the day it started. Virgin, naked, nothing there. How do I restore the Chrome that was there?
Chrome 'syncs' your information to its servers, so you can restore this information when you sign into your account, regardless of what device you are using. As for the latter part of your comment, I am not really following. I don't have Chrome currently installed on my machine so I can not help you step by step. All I know is you must SIGN IN to your google account on chrome and check the chrome preferences.
Google dashboard will show you all the information associated with your google account stored on their servers:

While intending to perform a clean install of Mountain Lion while continuing with old apps and files, is it a waste to restore a backup that was made while running Mountain Lion as an UPgrade from Lion?
Originally I was running Mountain Lion as an UPgrade from Lion. I created a backup in Time Machine, performed a clean install of Mountain Lion, then I proceeded to use Time Machine to restore the back up.
When thinking about the essence of a back up restore, it occurrs to me that for all I know, I may have just wated my time IF Time Machine also restores all the old unneeded files that remain from Lion after an upgrade.
Since the backup was made while running Mountain Lion as an upgrade from Lion, did restoring this backup defeat the purpose of a clean install by reinstalling old Lion files?
If so, how can I re-do the last portion of the process so that I get all my home-folder files and apps back without the full bulk of old Lion files? Migration assistant I'm guessing?
-ChrisHello John!
Thank you for your response which solved my problem. For other users who may stumble upon this, I'll clear up the confusion and share how I solved the problem with your help; When looking for answers to my computer problems, finding unresolved questions where person B offers a solution and person A never comes back and says "That worked, thank you.", it demonstrates a "k-thnx-bye" user mentality that leaves others with the same problem lost. Without further ado:
It is not clear what you did because the meaning of "clean install" is vague. You can erase a volume and install an OS which leaves none of its previous content intact,
This is what I did: I erased the volume leaving no previous content intact, while then installing OS X Mountain Lion.
or you can upgrade an existing OS (or reinstall the same one) which does not alter your user - installed files.
An upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion is what I started with initially before erasing anything. This was undesirable. Since this can cause Macs to run slower (especially whereas I'm using a mid-2011 Mac Mini), my goal was to go from operating within an upgrade to Mountain Lion, to operating within an installation of Montain Lion that was not preceded by any other oprating system.
Hence a "clean install of Mountain Lion while continuing with old apps and files" is confusing.
Well put and understood. What I should have said was:
1.Erase the volume
2.Install Mountain Lion clean
3.Confirm that Mountain Lion is functioning properly
4.Proceed to use either Time Machine or Migration Assistant to Import/Migrate/Copy over only two things; My old apps (That had been stored originally in the designated Applications folder) and all files and folders originally stored in the home folder under users.
If you restore from a Time Machine backup then all modifications that occurred subsequent to that backup become erased. It renders moot any OS X upgrade performed subsequent to that backup.
That makes sense and is just as I later suspected.
If so, how can I re-do the last portion of the process so that I get all my home-folder files and apps back without the full bulk of old Lion files? Migration assistant I'm guessing?
Yes.
This is what I did and everything works perfectly. Thank you so much once again!

Undo Closed Tab/Restore Last Session
Hello there. There seems to be a problem with the "Undo Closed Tab". The feature is active ( button is not faded out/grey ) , but after pressing it , nothing happens. This came to being when Aurora was updated to v29. The daily updates ( well , not so daily ) , does not seem to fix this problem , and there is nothing on the internet that helps. I tried resetting all values in "browser.sessionstore.*" , but nothing happened. There is also another problem : i can't seem to find the "Restore last session" button on startup screen. I didn't find it in the Library ( CTRL-Shift-H ). Any ideas ?
The "old" home page was about:home (you can open about:about to see more about: pages).
Can you confirm that sessionstore.js is being created and updated as you browse?
You can open your current Firefox settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder using
Help > Troubleshooting Information > "Show Folder" button
If you find one or more files named sessionstore but not sessionstore.js, Windows may be hiding file extensions from you. To work with files as accurately as possible, I suggest unhiding them. This Microsoft support article has the steps: [http://support.microsoft.com/kb/865219]. -
Option of 'Restore Last Session' not working. Is there any option to repair the 'Mozilla Firefox' without loosing History?
It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
Delete the sessionstore.js [2] file and possible sessionstore-##.js files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
* Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).
