Sessionstore.js is missing

I have already posted the question "sessionstore.js cannot be found in 33.1.1" but the technical assistance offered is wrong (it was stated that the file is still on the system and it clearly is not). I am opening this second community question in hope of attracting someone that knows the answer....
For over a month a number of us have requested guidance on where the file sessionstore.js has gone. For my work, it is vital that I be able to archive and, on some FF crashes, restore that file. I am highly dependent on Group Tabs and all too often when FF crashes sessionstore.js is corrupted rendering my Group Tags worthless.
I opened the following dialog in the support form "sessionstore.js cannot be found in 33.1.1" but the only feedback from an"expert" there is the statement that that file still exists. I can ASSURE you that sessionstore.js does not exist on my boot drive.
If sessionstore.js is no longer the file to preserve & restore my Group Tabs, please identify the new file or new process that can be used to restore Group Tabs if they get corrupted..
Thanks,
Gerry

  • I can't find my sessionstore.bak files and I keep losing my tabs randomly! Help!

    <i>Locking duplicate thread.<br>Please continue here: [[/questions/1038390]]</i>
    Sessionstore.bak is missing, but in its place is sessioncheckpoint.json, but i still have sessionstore.js and .old. How to I restore old tabs? On top of this, I lose tabs randomly from the end of one session to the start of the next with normal closing of firefox. Why is this? Thanks for any help you can spare!

    The current Firefox release no longer user the sessionstore.bak file, but uses backup in the sessionstore-backups folder.
    You can still make backup copies of the sessionstore.js file and restore this file in the main profile folder or copy a backup from the sessionstore-backups folder to sessionstore.js to use this session.
    You can look at this extension to manage sessions more easily:

  • Why are key functions, such as the "back" button, missing from Firefox after involuntary update?

    I noticed that there is a new version of Firefox on my computer, different from the last time I had my computer on. There are few issues that I have noticed thus far. 1) The back" and "forward" buttons are disabled. 2) Whenever I open a website the address bar is missing the URL. 3) Firefox doesn't save my tabs and I lost all of my tabs from the previous session.
    Please help me. This makes browsing a frustrating task.

    Problems with bookmarks and history not working properly can be caused by a corrupted places.sqlite database file.
    You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database file in the Firefox Profile Folder.

    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 file and possible sessionstore-##.js files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.

    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).
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Multiple_profile_files_created
    If you keep having problems with your current Firefox Profile Folder then try to create new profile or reset Firefox.
    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
    See "Creating a profile":
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
    There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
    If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

  • Restoring session from sessionstore.bak file

    I'm trying to recover a session lost after a system crash,I have a '''sessionstore.bak''' file from the time of this crash (about 1.8Mb),and a '''sessionstore-1.js''' file which I assume is a leftover from some time ago and not relevant for this issue:copying this '''.bak''' file in the profile folder and renaming it to '''.js''' has not restored my session, indeed only one of the 10 windows I had open at that time is now restored-Firefox is set to show windows and tabs from the last time,so why this is not working?
    After that crash,not only my profile was missing but the cache folders as well,it all got moved in a C:something directory,maybe I should recover the cache folder also to restore the session?
    Is there any other reason why a sessionstore.bak file could not be used to successfully reopen the last session?

    Thanks for your answer cor-el,I've just successfully restored this 100-ish tabs session from that '''sessionstore.bak''' file,what I've done is
    * copy '''sessionstore.bak''' in the profile folder,rename it to '''.js'''
    * replace the cache folders moved in the "recovered files" directory back in their original location
    * replace a couple of missing '''userchrome.css''' files with some others from a previous backup
    * delete that '''sessionstore-1.js''' as you suggested
    Honestly now I have no clue about the deciding factor,but the pre-crash session is back exactly as it was,I wonder if the cache files are also essential to reopen such a large session (I also have BarTab installed,maybe this extension needs the cache files to work properly?)
    Now about that sessionstore-##.js files you were pointing at,I assume the external programs accessing Firefox would be some security software,or do I have to search now for some out of control application ?

  • Tab Groups Missing

    Using Firefox 3.6.18, I had several tab groups defined with several web pages in each group. I closed Firefox and my tab groups are gone.
    The icon for tab groups is missing from the toolbar and I can't figure out how to get it back. Pressing CTRL+SHIFT+E does nothing. Under Tools, Options, General, the startup option is when Firefox starts, "Show my homepage" and it is greyed out. I have disabled all addons and the problems persist.
    I don't understand why this feature just suddenly decided to stop working. I've decided to trust Tab Groups twice now and have been burned both times. This feature is a great feature, but if it is as unreliable as I've found it to be, I can't put my faith in using it.
    How do I re-enable Tab Groups on my system, and how do I recover the groups that I had defined?

    App (pinned) tabs and Tab Groups (Panorama) are stored as part of the session data [1] in the file sessionstore.js [2] in the Firefox profile folder [3].
    Make sure that you do not use "Clear Recent History" to clear the "Browsing History" when Firefox is closed because that prevails and prevents Firefox from opening tabs from the previous session.

    It is also possible to use the "Show my windows and tabs from last time" setting, that is usually a more reliable way to restore session data.

  • Restored some pages but not all, had 2 groups of tabs, only restored 1 group, after using sessionstore.bak trick.

    I opened Firefox after restarting my computer. I normally press the Restore button and get my 2 groups of tabs back up, one which contains its own Restore page. However, I accidentally opened another tab while the Restore page was loading, and all of sudden there were no pages to Restore - it was empty, and the Restore option was greyed out when I went under History. I used the sessionstore.bak trick to recover 1 group of tabs. However the other group of tabs is still missing that I had open in another window before this problem happened. Is there a way to recover this?

    I looked under all the ways to bring up precious tabs, including under History, but it was too late. All the tabs disappeared. Just by me pressing on something wrong. A million times before, I pressed the Restore button, and both windows with the groups of tabs would pop up. But this time, I must have done something funny. But opening a new tab next to the Restore tab, it made my previous pages disappear.

  • Can I paste a sessionstore.js from Firefox 27.0.1 (XP) into Firefox 28 (Ubuntu 12.04 LTS?

    I saved my wife's tabs from Firefox 27.0.1 (XP) and installed Ubuntu 12.04 and Firefox 28. Now my life depends on my being able to restore her tabs. I am new to Ubuntu and I can't seem to find where sessionstore.js is located. I turned on hidden files, to no avail. I seem to be missing something.

    Note Firefox's ''sessiorestore'' sytem tends to be slightly fragile. Try not to over rely on it. At least ensure any important open pages are bookmarked.
    '''''Firefox sync''''' may help but that is also rather trouble prone. Firefox sync may improve in Firefox 29 with the new Firefox accounts, but personally I would not rely heavily on that either. Firefox sync may also scramble bookmarks so make sure you not only bookmark but also make manually backup your bookmarks.

    *[[How do I set up Firefox Sync?]]

  • Partner application configuration is missing error on SSO login page

    We have APEX 3.1.2 setup as a partner application and an application within APEX setup to use SSO for authentication. Following a link to the APEX application redirects to the Single Sign-On page, as it should, but it also shows "Error: The partner application configuration is missing or expired." I type in my password and username, click the Login button, and (if I entered my username and password correctly, of course!) then the APEX application is shown. So, I cannot figure out why we're getting the no_papp_err error and I have not found any solutions to that issue on Metalink or anywhere else on the Internet. Any ideas? I'm concerned that we have a misconfiguration somewhere that is causing this error and will affect any other partner application we setup in the future.
    We're on Oracle Portal 10.1.4, SSO 10.1.2, and SSL is setup on both infra and mid tiers.

    Did you try checking the partner application entries on the SSO-login server page?
    please login as orcladmin or some other user with membership in, i beleive, iasadmins group. verify that for this partner application, what you see here corresponds to the application URL. it looks like your login page call may have issues. so check for login url too.
    also check the ORASSO.WWSSO_LS_CONFIGURATION_INFO$ for entries corresponding to Apex application.

  • HT203167 A movie I purchased in the iTunes store is missing. It isn't hidden and doesn't show up in search. I've followed support steps.  Where is it and how do I find it?  I believe I originally purchased the film on my 1st Gen AppleTV.

    A movie I purchased in the iTunes store is missing. It isn't hidden and doesn't show up in search. I've followed support steps.  Where is it and how do I find it?  I believe I originally purchased the film on my 1st Gen AppleTV...other movies show up. Help.

    It was Love Actually. It's been in my library a few years but is now missing. It's odd...it isn't even in the iTunes Store anymore. I think there is a rights issue because a message appeared in the store saying it wasn't available at this time in the U. S. store. Still, if I bought it years ago it should be in my library or I should get a refund....

  • Songs that I have purchased are missing in iTunes (file not found/exclmation point), and do not show up in the iTunes Store for download.

    I have a laptop that has (or had) pretty much all of my music, both burned from CDs and downloaded from iTunes. My 17 year old son on occasion syncs his iPhone and iPad with this laptop. As of the last sync (as best I can determine), many songs that I purchased in the past few years are now missing, in that they have an exclamation point to the left of the song title, and when I try to play the song, I get an error message that says "The song could not be used because the original file could not be found" or something to that effect. As it turns out, the file seems to be erased. This has happened multiple times, and I could be wrong, but I believe that there are some songs that had the exclmation point last time he synced that now don't, and vice-versa. There is not an obvious correlation or grouping as to why these songs are missing (e.g,. they were not all purchased on the same date, not all songs from one artist are missing, etc.).
    Since most of these songs have been purchased through iTunes through my account, my reaction was to go to the iTunes store, log in with my account, and re-download them. Problem is, all of these songs instead ask me to purchase the song, instead of displaying a "cloud" logo. Therefore, it appears that I have to re-purchase these songs, which does not sound correct.
    Questions: Does anyone know, most importantly (to get an immediate fix):
    1. How can I re-download these songs and why doesn't iTunes Store recognize that I have already purchased them?
    and perhaps as important (more of a long-term question):
    2. Why does this happen and how can I prevent this from happening again (since it has happened multiple times)?
    Thanks.

    1. iTunes won't offer cloud downloads for songs that it "thinks" are in your library, even if it "knows" the files are missing. If you've exhaustively searched for the missing files and there is no prospect of repair by restoring to them to their original locations, or connecting to new ones, then delete that tracks that display both the missing exclamation mark and are of media kind Purchased/Protected AAC audio file. Don't hide from iTunes in the cloud when asked, close iTunes, then reopen. You can download from the cloud links or iTunes Store > Quicklinks > Purchased > Music > Not on this computer > All songs > Download all.
    2. Why? Not sure, perhaps 3rd party tools or accidental key presses combined with previously hidden warning messages when trying to organize the library. There is a hint that using the feature to downsample media as it is synced to a device may also be involved, though I've not replicated it. Whatever the reason a backup would protect your media.

  • Options - Text Editor - C/C++ missing intellisense entry. Intellisense not working

    Options -> Text Editor -> C/C++ missing intellisense entry.  Intellisense not working.    Solutions to turn options for the editor off and on are not working.  The intellisense entry is present for other languages,
    such as C#, but not C/C++.
    By not working, I mean the intellisense right click menu items are grayed out, and intellisense files are not produced.

    Hi JerroldBrody,
    Thank you for posting in MSDN forum.
    >>I mean the intellisense right click menu items are grayed out, and intellisense files are not produced.
    Based on your issue, could you please share me a screen shot about the intellisense right click menu items are grayed out?
    Generally, I know that it is default that we can enable the intellisense for C/C++ by going to the TOOLS->Options -> Text Editor -> C/C++ ->Advanced-> IntelliSense like the following screen shot.
    So please try to check if you set Disable Intellisense property as False in the VS IDE.

  • Loops "missing" but still in library

    Upon update, many loops went 'Missing" although they are in the loop library still.
    Have tried several attempts to re-index loops to no avail.
    For instance, "Live Edgy Drums 07" remains, but "Live Edgy Drums 29.2" does not and has no sound.
    in sound effects, "Airplane Takeoff" is in the loop library and is functioning, but "is not found" in my composition.

    how do i get them back into my playlist?
    On the left side ofTunes, drag from Library -> Music to the playlist you want it in.
    why does it keep doing this?
    Are you deleting the playlists the song(s) are in?

  • New Black BT Vision box - what is missing, a discu...

    Maybe it's just me but here is a list of things which are currently missing or wrong with the new BT Vision box (black edition with new interface and OS). Thought it might be useful to keep a list of these going which people can add to.
    would also appreciate it if anyone can help with any of these issues in case i've missed something
    Red button doesn't work - believe this is  'coming soon'. you can still access the channels by going to 301 or 302
    Teletext doesn't work - the button pops up a message saying it's not available, coming soon?
    There is no way to set recordings to over run? - this used to be very handy on old box, particularly with live shows. is this being brought back?
    No signal strength tester - you used to be able to check digital signal reception strength and quality from the settings menu, not any more
    Pressing 'play' when viewing a recording doesn't flash up the progress bar - any other good way to do this, used to be handy. Fix: pressing "select" does the trick
    no HD Freeview - the box isn't capable, wondering whether they might upgrade us to YouView later on for this?
    No options to set resolution - used to be able to define 720p or 1080i for instance, not any more
    Sky Sports small white box - a small logo in the bottom right area, not sure what this is or why it's now there?
    Subtitles on iPlayer missing
    Some reported picture quality issues - both on SCART and HDMI
    On the plus side:
    Bigger capacity on the hard disc
    Faster inteface and movement between sections
    Nice new design and sharp interface resolution
    Channel logos / graphics now in the information bar menu
    When in the TV Guide there's still a small box showing you what you are watching on the current channel
    Music playlist
    Bookmarks
    Reinstatement of the 30s jump and better fast-forward / rewind (30s jump doesn't work on Sky Sports)
    Ability to jump to specific point in recordings (you need to start it first, then stop and go back into it to have option)
    Ability to reenter a recording at a time offset
    Icon to show which recordings have been watched
    HD iPlayer
