sessionstore defunt as of the last 48 hours?

Post by rudyard »

Trying to restore a session from previous.js. The usual didn't work. Puzzled, I -

quit FF

deleted sessionstore.js and previous.js

started FF

open 3 tabs to different websites

quit FF

no sign of sessionstore.js (or previous.js)

Started FF... was able to History> restore session... and all three tabs came back up.


By now I assume I lost the session I was trying to restore. Does anyone know where it is kept now?

FF ESR 52.1.2 (64-bit) on a Mac

thanks

Rudyard
(I say defunct as I've had no problems restoring tabs in the past, and yet I can restore tabs when neither of those .js files are present)

Well never mind then. After several times quitting and starting and opening new tabs and restoring previous sessions, sessionstore and previous.js have suddenly manifested. I replaced SS with the old one and blammo, got the old session back. Clearly Mercury in retrograde.
