How to restore sessions after upgrade

Just upgraded to FF 33. Previously I had two windows open. Upon restart only one opened, with all its tabs intact. I would like to recover the other window as well. "Restore session" is either grayed or missing on menu and start pages. Is there a way to recover the second window.

Usually, the History menu will list closed windows you can restore below the grayed out Restore Previous Session. Anything listed?
Before closing Firefox, please back up your session history files to a safe location for potential recovery/salvage operations.
You can open your current Firefox settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder using either
* "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Troubleshooting Information
* (menu bar) Help > Troubleshooting Information
* type or paste about:support in the address bar and press Enter
In the first table on the page, click the "Show Folder" button.
In the window that launches, scroll down and double-click into the '''sessionstore-backups''' folder. Save all files here to a safe location, such as your Documents folder. We may be able to use them to recover your lost tabs.
The kinds of files you may find among your sessionstore files are:
* recovery.js: the windows and tabs in your currently live Firefox session (or, if Firefox is closed, your last session)
* recovery.bak: a backup copy of recovery.js
* previous.js: the windows and tabs in your last Firefox session
* upgrade.js-''build_id'': the windows and tabs in the Firefox session that was live at the time of your last update
You might also find files Firefox created if it could not update recovery.js (but since Firefox 33 is so new, I don't know what they would be named).
Could you take a look at what you have and the date/time of the various files to see whether you think any of them would have the missing window?
Note: By default, Windows hides the .js extension. To ensure that you are looking at the files I mentioned, you may want to turn off that feature. This article has the steps: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/show-hide-file-name-extensions

  • How to restore session after upgrading to v9

    FF quietly asks permission to upgrade, silly me.... I should know better.... 'cos every time I go from version x to version x+1, I cannot restore the previous session.... and every time it happens (just before I throw the cat across the room) I tell myself it's time to switch to A N Other Browser.
    I've lost all the tabbed work from the last few days... I'm back to the home page and "Restore Previous Session" is no longer an option (why doesn't it work when you need it?)
    I've tried the sessionstore.bak ... itmay be very clever but I might as well be certifiably dyslexic for all I'm (not) able to follow the instructions.... about-config needs a program of it's own to become intelligible on this PC
    Either that.... or it's back to IE

    how to install iPhoto after upgrading to yosemite?

    Download it from the App Store as Matt suggested.  You may have to move the current version to the Trash Bin (don't delete yet), go to the App Store and look for iPhoto 9.6 under purchases.  It will be free.
    What iPhoto version did you have prior to the Yosemite upgrade?  If it was iPhoto 7 (08) or earlier you'll also have to download and run the iPhoto Library Upgrader 1.1 on your library before opening it with iPhoto 9.6.

  • How to restore documents after a clean install when location is not known?

    I have had some troubles with my computer recently and the person at the genius bar said I should wipe my drive clean and include everything except my library folders and system folder. The only thing I don't know how to restore is documents that aren't stored in a known location in the finder. What I mean is programs like LittleSnapper or Macjournal that have their files contained with the application (in another words I don't go to the Finder to save or open these documents.)
    I did a search for some files from "Things" and it looks like these get stored under the library. Therefore if I choose to not restore the library (like the Genius said) wouldn't I lose access to these files?! LittleSnapper appears to save it's files in a hidden folder on the hard drive called "private". How can I restore that folder if I don't even have access to it?
    Do I just export the files from these programs to the finder and then reimport them later? "Things" doesn't even appear to have a way to export it's files that I know of.
    Thanks in advance for any help you can provide in this matter.

    "No program keeps stuff in the private folder."
    The reason I thought that is if you open a LittleSnapper screen shot in Photoshop or where ever and then command click on the windows title it shows the private folder on the file's path.
    "Before you do reformat, try creating a new user account. See if you're problem still exist within that new user."
    Yes I still have the problem with the new user account.

  • How to restore photos after i tried to delete them, they are still there

    I tried to delete some photos to give me room on my start up disc. First I tried saving them to a thumb drive then tried deleting the pix. The photos come up blank but I still see them sometimes. how do I restore them completely.
    part 2 what is the best way to store them off the hard drive?

    assuming that you deleted them in iPhoto to totally remove them empty the iPhoto trash and then the system trash
    to move your entire iPhoto library to an external drive
    Moving the iPhoto library is safe and simple - quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the external drive - depress the option key and launch iPhoto using the "select library" option to point to the new location on the external drive - fully test it and then trash the old library on the internal drive (test one more time prior to emptying the trash)
    And be sure that the External drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) (iPhoto does not work with drives with other formats) and that it is always available prior to launching iPhoto
    And backup soon and often - having your iPhoto library on an external drive is not a backup and if you are using Time Machine you need to check and be sure that TM is backing up your external drive
    How to restore them - if you deleted tehm in iPhoto open the iPhoto trash and right click on them and restore to library

  • How to remove CS3 after upgrade to CS4

    What is the best way to remove all my CS3 suite after I upgraded to CS4 Suite? Thanks.

    As I no longer require CS3 on my Mac after upgrading to CS4 and waiting for the required plugins to be available I have successfully uninstalled CS3 using the Adobe CS3 Creative Suite uninstaller.
    NOTE: please make a copy of the 'Adobe Unit Types.osax' found Macintosh HD/Library/ScriptingAdditions/Adobe Unit Types.osax
    At home did this without making a backup of the 'Adobe Unit Types.osax', so when I launched Photoshop CS4 it suffered from the "Error: "One or more files in the Adobe Application Support folder.."
    At work I did this with making a copy of 'Adobe Unit Types.osax', place it back after the uninstall of CS3... and presto so far so good.
    for the 'Error: "One or more files in the Adobe Application Support folder... are missing' when you start Photoshop CS4 (Mac OS)" read here:

  • How to remove app after upgrade to os 6 on iphone 4s

    I cannot get the apps to show the removal x to get rid of an app after upgradeing to the new os 6 on my iphone 4s

    DELETING APPS
    Touch the app and hold your finger down until all the apps start to jiggle. You will see a circled "x" in the upper left corner. Tap it to delete an app. When done press the Home button.
    You cannot delete any pre-installed iOS app.
    If there is No 'X' on any apps you have Downloaded... then check in Restrictions... Settings > General > Restrictions > Deleting Apps  =  Off / On
    If the app is in iTunes, then you delete the app in iTunes (Select the App and Press Delete on your Keyboard). If you then sync with your iDevice, the app will also be deleted from your iDevice.

  • Restore problem after upgrading, how to read the b...

    Hi there,
    I've a N95 and had Software version V11 on it. I made a backup and everything went well.
    I then upgraded my N95 to V20 (not V12, i only could see V20) and tried to restore the backup afterwards...
    Now the restore starts ok but after 67% it stops totally....
    Anyone familiar with this ?
    Then i read something about first upgrading to V12 then make a backup again (after a restore) because this would be compatable with v20 ?????
    I now have V20 but no "restore", is there a way to "read out" the backup file ans selectivily restore items ?
    thanks in advance,

    Hi.
    I am having the same problem now. When it restored, I can't reinstall PC Suite because fail to remove the new version. I tried removing via Control Panel. It was removed but yet it says fail to uninstall PC Suite. How else do you uninstall the PC Suite if not via Control Panel/ Add Remove Programs.
    I tried installing the older version of the PC Suite but then it says that it cannot be done because there is a newer version installed.
    Well, don't know what to do because I have tried getting advise from friends and that also fails.
    Anyway, if there is anybody who can assist, I would be most grateful.
    Cheers

  • How do I restore iTunes after upgrading to Lion?

    Upgraded from Snow Leopard to Lion and, in the process, appear to have lost access to my iTunes.  After the upgrade, when I clicked on the iTunes icon, I was then asked if I wanted to "install iTunes!"  I have found folders that appear to contain the contents, but really don't want to re-build my iTunes from scratch.
    How can I reclaim my iTunes??  Great thanks in advance!

    This is getting confusing.
    First, there is iTunes the application.  That should open no matter what, even if it opens to a blank library.
    Second, there are all the library contents (what's in your iTunes folder) which should also open when you start iTunes and present you with what you're used to seeing.
    It seems to me that it is your application that isn't starting (and so the comment about replacing with your backup doesn't apply).  Is this correct?  If so, I personally don't have the answer since I don't run Lion and don't know it's insallation procedure.  I thought iTunes application was part of the OS for Lion and should be automatically installed.  Maybe you do need to say yes when it asks you if you want to install it.
    I am assuming you did a complete backup of your hard drive before upgrading to a new OS, so in case it did actually wipe out your library (which it should not have) you can get all your files back?

  • I cannot restore ipad after upgrading to itunes 10.2.2.14

    Since upgrading my Ipad to latest revision of Itunes,  I can no longer sync and it now requires a restore.  I took the Ipad to Best Buy and they restored it,  but when I connected it back onto my PC,  same thing happens.  When I goto restore screen and click on restore,  the block of info that comes up with ref X says, Software for this Iphone is not currently available. Make sure you  have the latest version of Iteunes and try again.  I check upgrade and it says I am current.  What gives.???  This is second time for me in last year after an upgrade once before. 

    Same problem but using Windows 7 32 bit (German version).
    De-installing and re-installing iTunes didn´t help.
    I "downgraded" back to iTunes 10.1.2 and the error vanished.
    polydorus wrote about how to do it:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2770922&tstart=0
    On FileHippo go to the iTunes page. On the right you´ll see earlier versions.
    And I had to replace my library file with the back-up version from yesterday.
