I have a recovery process for you, but it requires that you have immediately saved your old sessionstore.bak, or have a way to get one from your company backup system.
cd .mozilla/firefox/<your current profile>/ <your current profile> will probably have a name like 'wzy9plsu.default'. If there are more than one check the dates. you should find that you have a file named sessionstore.bak. Immediately save a copy of it cp -a sessionstore.bak sessionstore.bak2 Now start up firefox. Create a new tab. Exit firefox and tell it to save tabs. Then overwrite the file firefox just created: cp -a sessionstore.bak2 sessionstore.js restart firefox and if you had the correct backup file, your sesions should be back. My guess is there is a flag somewhere else that says to firefox that it has a 'virgin' install, and until you cause that to get cleared, it will not pay attention to old contents of sessionstore.js or use the usual sessionstore.bak. Hope this saves a few people some grief. -- Firefox does not restore session after update https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/309656 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
