Aaaaaggghhh! Need to recover closed Firefox Window

[nascent]

Is there any way to recover a closed window if you have closed and relaunched FF? I was trying to sort things so that all the wikipedia and other sites/subjects were grouped together so I clicked 'group tabs' in the drop-down list of open tabs. FF basically went into cardiac arrhythmia because of the number of tabs and essentially froze. I tried to stop or revert what it was doing and ended up closing the window. I've had the browser crash/lock up on me before so I figured I'd just close it down and then get the 'recover session' dialogue. Nope. I just get my other window, which wasn't nearly as important as the lost one. Am I screwed here? Also, these windows are several months old, so I'm not even certain how far back in the history I would have to go to pick out the individual tabs. Is there a utility or way to compare the list of open tabs with a particular time in the history? In future, is there a way to save each window to a separate sessionstore.js file? Thanks.

Ouch! This has happened to me many times but I have never gone more than a few days of tabs without saving the tabs on a temporary bookmarks folder. Most of my bookmarks are temp saves I never got around to checking. Recovery the conventional way for you is basically impossible as a few months of tabs is like searching for the needle in the haystack. Good luck on your bookmark recovery efforts and I will be checking to see if a solution to this problem is found.

Gah- I was afraid of something like this. Thanks for the reply anyway. I'll just have to create a list of my currently open tabs, then go through my history line by line and open up all the URLs not on the list to see if I want to keep them.

Tab Mix Plus can save and load windows and tabs (Save This Window) and it has it's own session restore settings (for crash recovery). You can also mark tabs as protected to give you an extra confirmation dialog before closing them.
