How to Recover Lost Pages in Mozilla Firefox

It is possible that while you are using the Firefox browser that a computer malfunction or system crash will cause you to lose your browser session. Usually, when you restart Firefox you are prompted to start a new browser session or restore the previous session. However, if the option does not appear, you can still recover the previous Web pages by accessing the History utility. In addition, you can also configure the browser to restore the previous session by default in case there is a problem.

Instructions

Restore Tabs And Windows

1. Launch Firefox, and then click the "Firefox" button.

2. Click "History" on the drop-down list, and then select "Recently Closed Tabs" or "Recently Closed Windows" from the sub-menu list.

3. Select the tabs or windows that contain the Web pages you want to re-open from the list of tabs or Windows.

Enable Session Restore
