Is there any way to restore history in Firefox 3?

Earlier today I quit Firefox. When I opened it back up, there was an add-on that needed to be updated. The update window acted odd (refused to go to the background). While it was updating, I accidentally opened and then closed a window in Firefox. Long story short; I lost not only my two windows full of tabs but also my entire history: everything says "0."
I looked at the instructions for deleting places.sqlite, but a) I don't have any problem using the back and forward button as others reported, and b) if I delete places.sqlite, I lose the only access to my history I have left (the Awesome Bar), which I really need.
Is there some way to rescue my history?
I'm behind on an update or two...oops.
Thanks! (And yes, that auto-backup in Firefox 4 is sounding pretty appealing right now.)

Thanks for the response. No Time Machine, but I probably have a backup from a few months ago on an external hard drive. :/ I guess it'd have useful history, but not if it overwrote the last 3 months or so of Awesome Bar, that might not be so great.

  • Is there any way to restore deleted bookmarks after uninstalling firefox and reinstalling it?

    When I uninstalled firefox i checked the delete history/bookmarks box by accident and now all my bookmarks are gone. is there any way of restoring them from before i uninstalled firefox?

    Did you remove the JSON backups in the bookmarkbackups folder as well?
    It is better to try to recover a JSON backup because that is a text file and can easily be checked if the recovery succeeded.

  • Is there any way to restore lost sessions closed accidently?

    I had many tabs open but accidently closed the firefox without saving it. When I opened next time, I lost all the tabs. Is there any way to restore those tabs.
    I saw a posting which refering to renaming a file called sessionstore.bak but I could not find that file. I need a permanenet solution to this. I don't want to save everything in the bookmark. Alternatively, is there any way to save multiple opened sessions which can be retrieved any time.

    Apparently new in FireFox 4, possibly due to customer demand, there is a selection to Restore Previous Session in the History menu. Unfortunately, I must use it way too OFTEN.

  • All of my contacts were deleted for no reason. Is there any way to restore them?

    I powered down my iPhone 4S because an app was bugging out. When I powered it back up, all of my contacts had been deleted. When I tried to see my contact list it told me there were "No Contacts" on this phone. In the "messages" app, each conversation is now paired with a phone-number and not each contact's name.
    I did not have my contacts sync'd to my iTunes, or iCloud, or any other storage system.
    Interestingly, when I do a "left-swipe search", and type in a contact's name e.g. Joe Smith, my phone is able to show me which text-message conversations were with Joe Smith, and other information about this contact. But that's the only memory my phone has of its lost contacts.
    Is there any way to restore lost contacts without external storage / syncing ??
    Thanks

    I think those contacts still in iphone database. So you can back up you iphone with itunes to get iphone database off your iphone. Then access the SQLite batabse.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
    All data included with the backup is stored in a SQLite database format with the data within various folders not easily accessible.There are some 3rd party utilities that provide for extracting select data from an iPhone's backup and iphone database such as this one.
