I can't restore a previous session (it instead recovers the session before) of my Tabs and my home page keeps being reset to firefox

Hi,
Over the last few days (since i updated to the newest version of firefox) i've been having problems. I usually keep open quite a few tabs that are invaluable to me that I need, they contain vital information i've been needing for research and I can't afford to keep losing them!. I'm used to exiting firefox when i turn off my computer and them saving for my next session when I open firefox back up. For some reason now, if i turn off my computer, when i turn on again and go into firefox to restore my previous session. it will restore the session prior to my previous session but not my previous session.
My default setting was to resume the Firefox session from where it was when I last exited Firefox that I set. The settings are all the same as they was before I updated firefox and I had this problem, so it is set to remember my history. I'm really not that tech savvy so i really don't know if it was teh update that caused it but it seems around the same time. Also, every single time. it sets my home page to firefox (it is usually google)) it will only remain google if i change it back and remain for the day until i restart my computer.
I'd be most grateful to any hint that might solve this problem. Thank you for your attention. I really appreciate the input! thanks everyone in advance!

You can check for problems with the sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak files in the Firefox profile folder that store session data.
Delete the sessionstore.js file and possible sessionstore-##.js files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox profile folder.
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
*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 and you will have to recreate them (make a note or bookmark them if possible).

  • New Computer Profile Created, Lost all My Previous Bookmarks! How can I restore my previous bookmarks from a past computer profile to my new profile? IE bookmarks were not erased, just my Firefox bookmarks.

    I was having problems with my Windows 7 computer, and HP assisted me in creating a new profile, and then deleting my previous profile (I'm the only user on my laptop). Unfortunately, I did not save my Firefox bookmarks - didn't think to do this! So, I have lost all my bookmarks. Is there any way to retrieve my old bookmarks from my previous profile, and install them into my new profile? IE did not suffer this same fate - all my bookmarks (albeit different ones and not as extensive, unfortunately as FF bookmarks were) are still intact.

    Oh no :/ Unfortunately, if you deleted the old profile without saving, my hopes are slim to none on this, but we can try!
    Try to search your computer for the file "Bookmarks.html". You can see if it finds it from your old bookmarks. If that doesn't, try looking for "places.sqlite". If you already have Firefox set up with your new profile, you may find the new versions, so make sure you check the dates of the files that are found.
    You can read [[Recovering important data from an old profile|Recovering important data from an old profile]], which has more tips.

  • How can i restore a Previous session if someone has just opened the Firefox browser and closed it bfore I got on the same computer?

    I had 2 lots of windows with multiple tabs thatI wanted to re-open the next timethe computer was on, but someone else was on the computer and opened firefox and now i can't restore my previous session of tabs in the 2 windows.

    hello, can you go to the firefox ''menu ≡ > help ? > troubleshooting information'', click on ''profile folder/show folder'' and close all firefox windows afterwards. a windows explorer window should open up - in there create a backup of all files starting with '''sessionstore'''. then inspect them and see if their modified date would match the session you're trying to restore, in which case you might paste the content of the file into a site like https://firefox-session-restore.herokuapp.com/
    otherwise i fear you'll have to reconstruct those sites through your history ...

  • HT4859 How can I restore a previous backup in iCloud storage for my iPad?

    How can I restore a previous backup in iCloud storage for my iPad?

    Restoring an iCloud backup requires you to first erase your iPad.  If you have any newer data that you want to save you'll need to do that first.  Then go to Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings, go through the setup screens on the iPad and when given the option, choose Restore from iPad backup.

  • I want to search Time Machine for an appointment that has been deleted from my current view of iCal.  Can I "restore" a previous version of iCal without losing all the entries I've made to the calendar since that prior date?

    I want to search Time Machine for an appointment that has been deleted from my current view of iCal.  Can I "restore" a previous version of iCal without losing all the entries I've made to the calendar since that prior date?

    No. I tried it on my Time Machine (I had just made one change today, so I knew I would not be left in the lurch if I failed) and when I clicked on restore I got this message:
    It seems you have several options.  I chose 'Keep Both'.  I suggest that you proceed with your search.

  • How can i restore a previously owned mac book air?

    i have a macbook air that i bought used but it was not restored. how can i restore it?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    First, open  > About this Mac, and see Version. If it's 10.8, you have to purchase Mountain Lion to be able to reinstall OS X, so open App Store and purchase Mountain Lion.
    Then, to restore the computer to default settings, follow these steps:
    1. Press Command and R keys while your Mac is starting to start into OS X Recovery, and open Disk Utility.
    2. Choose Macintosh HD on the sidebar, go to Erase tab and erase the disk.
    3. Close Disk Utility and reinstall OS X.
    If it's 10.7, call Apple to purchase OS X Lion > http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
    If it's 10.6 or 10.5, you should have the Mac OS X DVDs that came with the Mac, so you need an external optical drive or another computer with Remote Disc to reinstall OS X

  • HT201250 Can I restore photo files from Time Machine without the use of an external drive?  I'm trying to restore lost photo files and I see them listed in Time Machine (without use of an external drive), but when I try to restore I get a error code 36.

    Can I restore photo files from Time Machine without the use of an external drive?  While I was transferring photos back and forth from a thumb drive something went haywire and my IPhoto was wiped clean!  When I click on Time Machine I see all the dated pages (without an external storage drive connected), go back to a date where all my photo files are there, click "restore", and I get the message:  "The Finder can't complete the operation because some data in file cant be read or written (error code - 36)"

    Thanks so much Terence.  I tried some of the fixes from that page, but then discovered the suggestion to compress the Time Machine Back up of the original library and transfer it as a zip back to my computer as detailed here:

    That worked like a charm.  I really appreciate it.

Is there anything I can do or can Apple do something if  I give them the  correct password?

    As you had the iPhone opened by an unauthorised repairer ( Apple do not replace screens on iPhone 4)
    Apple will not provide any service or support
    Take it back to the "phoneShop" and tell them to fix it
    You have no other alternatives

    how can i hold a spot in a clip, let the audio continue for a moment and then resume the clip and audio together?

    you want to use the retiming tool. you can select what you want to hold, then use the "Hold" command (shift-H) to create a single frame of a default duration, which you can then change to whatever length you want by dragging the retiming handle.
    Here's the page in the help manual that describes the hold feature in detail:
