I Can't Get Session Restore to Work Today

Session Restore has always worked fine for me until today. I have opened this question up in a second window as I don't want to risk closing the Restore Session window until I can get some advice. I have had a look on the forum for similar questions but I am a bit confused by the responses and I don't want to do anything which might be irreversible.
This is what happened. I got a popup for a new version of the AVG toolbar. I wasn't sure if I wanted to install it or not (I didn't like the look of the new version as it forces the choice of search engine and home page) so I clicked on Learn more and Firefox Immediately crashed, without bringing up a crash report panel. Note that I did NOT attempt to install the new version at all. I then tried to restart but when I clicked on the Restore button Firefox crashed again, bringing up the report panel, which I filled in. This repeated more than once so I decided to shutdown and restart my computer, which usually solves my problems. This did not work.. After restarting and attempting yet again to restore my session the Restore session window has hung completely and now just sits there.
I next did a FEBE backup (just in case it might be useful) and then I did a bit of reading on the forum to see what I could find out. That lead me to the file sessionrestore.js and this is where I get very confused. I can't seem to follow the instructions given in the other threads which touch on this topic but this is what I can find on my computer with Superfinder -

2014-08-27 13:36:24 40,027 KB sessionstore.js C:\Users\User_2\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\3e4h8dlg.default\
It looks like I could simply rename session store.bak to sessionstore.js but I am confused by the two occurrences of each file. Should I rename both of them? one or the other? How should I go about fixing this? Any tabs I have opened since the disaster are only those I am using to research this problem, so I could just bookmark them temporarily - even if I lose them it wont matter so much as long as I get my old tabs back. I will check back in a little while and see if anyone knows what I should do
Hoping to hear from you soon,
Jacq.

Yes it is about 40 mg - I didn't know there was a size limit? How can I change that?

  • I can't get session restore to work on new Firefox

    Whenever I crashed on previous versions of firefox from a year or so ago, my session tabs would all come back, now they just won't and it's frustration. The support literature about this is outdated, it sends me to buttons that don't exist.

    Check that Session Restore is enabled.
    You can look at the 'browser.sessionstore' prefs on the '''about:config''' page and reset prefs that show as bold (user set).

    The pref [http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.sessionstore.enabled browser.sessionstore.enabled] is no longer used in Firefox 3.5 and later (bug 449596).
    Remove that pref if you still have it via the right-click context menu and choose Reset.

  • Can't get the restore to work

    I neglected to write down my passcode and got locked out. it's a new iPad. I followed the instructions to restore the device using iTunes, connected the iPad to my computer, did the download. But when I turned the iPad back on, it is still asking for my passcode so obviously it didn't work or I did something wrong. Is there another step I am supposed to take?

    Is this how you do it?
    1. Turn off iPad
    2. Turn on computer and launch iTunes (make sure you have the latest version of iTune)
    3. Plug USB cable into computer's USB port
    4. Hold Home button down and plug the other end of cable into docking port.
    DO NOT RELEASE BUTTON until you see picture of iTunes and plug
    5. Release Home button.
    ON COMPUTER
    6. iTunes has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTunes.
    7. Select "Restore iPad"...
    Note:
    1. Data will be lost if you do not have backup
    2. You must follow step 1 to step 4 VERY CLOSELY.
    3. Repeat the process if necessary.

  • Can't get icloud mail to work today, on and device, is there a problem with server?

    Anyone else with same problem or anyone can tell me how to sort it out please?

    I too am having the same problem. Whats the point of having a server status stating everything is working when clearly it isnt. I'm just in the process of changing all my important mail stuff over to gmail - I just cant be without mail for hours whilst there is no status update.
    I would understand if this were a free service - however its not.
    Does anyone have an ETA on a fix ?
    Thanks

  • My "Hanging with Friends" app keeps crashing whenever I try to open it. I have deleted and re-downloaded the app, restarted my iPhone, and even restored my iPhone all together, and nothing is working. How can I get this app to work again?

    Can you start Firefox in [[Safe mode]] ?
    You can also do a clean reinstall and download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
    Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
    It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    You can initially skip the step to create a new profile, that may not necessary for this issue.

  • After upgrading to Lion can't get Boot Camp to work! Just get "startup dusk cannot be portioned or restored to a single partition"?

    After upgrading to Lion can't get Boot Camp to work! Just get "The startup disk cannot be partitioned or restored to a single partition". Anytone?

    This message, and threads like yours got asked daily for over two years, now it is only a couple times a week!!
    Is it so hard to follow through? you were to have backup already, clones are best, then erase/format and restore.
    Then partition.
    Some have been able to use Disk Utility booted from OS X DVD or another drive, and repair the drive.
    You have to use Boot Camp Assistant (99.9% anyway) to create and achieve a proper Windows Master Boot Record partition.

    I do backup with iCloud.  I can't wait until the new iMac is available so that I can once again have my files in more than 1 location without needing to rely solely on the cloud. 
    I also rely on iTunes and my MacBook and Time Machine as well as backing up to iCloud. I know many users know have gone totally PC free, but I chose to use iCloud merely as my third backup.
    I assume that the restore would result in my ability to open Pages and Numbers and fix the problem with deleting apps, but this would also mean that if my Numbers documents still exist solely within the app and are just not on iCloud for some reason that they would be gone forever.  Is that right?
    In a word, yes. In a little more detail.... When you restore from an iCloud backup, you must erase the device and start all over again. There is no other way to access the backup in iCloud without erasing the device. Consequently, you are starting all over again. Therefore, it would also be my assumption that Pages and Numbers will work again and that the deleting apps issues would be fixed as well.
    If the documents are not in the backup, and you do not have a backup elsewhere, the documents could be gone forever.

  • Can't get Home Sharing to work with ATV, v7.0.3 and iTunes 12.1.0.50

    I can't get Home Sharing to work. I'm looking at my MacBook screen and iTunes says Home Sharing is On. On Apple TV, it says Turn On Home Sharing in iTunes. Both are using the same Apple ID and password (signed out and signed back in manually on both). I have tried the following: Signing out of and into Home Sharing on Apple TV and iTunes, closing iTunes and restarting the MacBook, restarting and restoring Apple TV to factory settings, restarting my router, all possible iterations of the aforementioned. Nothing seems to work. Also tried renaming my computer in preferences/sharing.
    Any new ideas?
    Using ATV3 software v7.0.3
    iTunes software v12.1.0.50
    MacBook software OS X Yosemite v10.10.2

    Only have one network; wireless. On it's own, the MacBook can use wifi to surf the net and Apple TV can watch movie previews from Apple via wifi.
    It did work about two months ago. I haven't used it since then for home sharing but have used the Apple TV on its own.
    I read the Troubleshooting page on Apple Support. It involves turning various things on and off, which I did

  • Imac i5 late 2009 running OS X 10.8.4 and can't get FireWire connection to work

    I have Imac i5 late 2009 running OS X 10.8.4 and can't get FireWire connection to work with LaCie external drive.  I have gone through older posts and tried with no luck power cable and holding down start button for 15 seconds and restoring power and also removing power cable waitng 10 minutes replugging power cable holding down alt command P, R keys until second beep is heard.  I know that LaCie drive and cable are working, they were connnected to another iMac without issues.  What options do I have left to get FireWire to work? The System Report just says
    FireWire Bus:
    Maximum Speed: Up to 800 Mb/sec.
    Thanks for any help
    CS

    I did not mention in original post that when initially connected to the Firewire port the LaCie drive  I can hear activity so the drive is getting power. Does this mean the Firewire port may not be physically damamged and there may be options for resetting? Are there any 3rd party software repair programs worth buying for diagnostics and repair of the FireWire port?

  • HT5470 I can't get the radio to work on my Ipod Nano 7.

    I can't get the radio to work on Ipod nano 7.  When I go to the radio screen the following happens 1) the radio screen appears in the backgound with a small rotating icon at its center for few seconds, 2) the screen go blank and small apple icon appears at the center of the blank screen for few seconds, and 3) the home screen reappears. Any suggestions?

    Thanks for the reply.  It turns out my ipod nano was defective.  For some reason it rebooted every time the radio button was pressed.  I tried a software restore and that failed.  Since the unit was just a few days old I was able to exchange it at the retailer.  The FM radio on the new unit works great.
