![]() ![]() ![]() STOP PULLING THE RUG FROM UNDERNEATH THE USER. DO NOT BREAK SESSIONSTORE FILES and make them incompatible, either forward or backward. There is nothing more important to a user than the sessionstore. The sessionstore is the most holy data of a browser. This time it took "only" 36 hours, but this kind of blatant disregard for the user HAS TO STOP. Last time sessionstore was broken (the infamous favicon bug, caused by clickjack/triggeringPrincipal_b64 "enhancements", as documented in /1345456 (and others)), it took several weeks and endless hours to recover partially from the sessionstore changes. In this case they caused a silent failure and not even a hint or warning what was wrong. I'm not sure I can adequately express my dismay with that certain subset of Firefox developers that keep futzing around with the sessionstore format and making incompatible changes. It was just pure luck that this backup existed. And this file restored just fine when copied into PROFILEDIR/sessionstore.jsonlz4. On a hunch I dug into an offline backup and found another recovery.jsonlz4 that was 21 hours older, and that had not been contaminated by ff-57.0.2. I found the cause of my session restore problem: The recovery.jsonlz4 that I was trying to restore had been written by ff-57.0.3, (which I had started by accident on the specific profile), while I subsequently tried to restore the session using ff-56.0.2, which is my production version of firefox. Can anyone tell me how to restore the 15th November file and how to load the 120 tabs in that file please? ![]() I have tried renaming this file to, recovery.jsonlz4, previous.jsonlz, session.jsonlz4, sessionstore.js, but everytime i restart firefox, it doesnt read this file, and gives me that one blank tab instead. baklz4 file to sessionstore.js, but it didnt work, I tried renaming it to recovery.jsonlz4 but it still didnt work, It is 23rd november today and I have given up hope that I would be able to recover all 150 tabs from yesterday, but the file in point 6 which is called ' upgrade.jsonlz4-20171112125346' seems to be a backup file from 15th November, so I thought Id try and rename this file and recover my tabs from 15th November instead ( about 120 tabs in total). I saved a copy of these files in My documents, but I dont know what to do with these files, I tried to rename the. I went to my Firefox Profile Folder, there I clicked on the 'Sessionstore-backups' folder, and found these files: I thought i shouldnt worry, because I did see an article last year about how to restore the firefox session that existed before the previous session, and there was something in that article about a sessionstore,js file and a. I then reopened firefox again, and clicked 'restore previous session' and all it would do is open the main window, and all my 150 tabs are lost now. Except what happened was that I opened firefox, the main page opened, and before I was able to click' restore previous session' and restore my 150 tabs, I accidentally closed the firefox window. Yesterday I closed my firefox with 150 tabs and shut it down, hoping that when I start firefox again today, and click on 'restore previous session' that my 150 tabs will appear before me like they normally do. This version disable my 'session manager' add ons, without my knowledge. Im In a difficult situation, I have updated firefox to the new version 2 weeks ago. ![]()
