[mdlug] Fwd: Restoring FireFox session

[Rick Hall]

Raymond
Thanks for the input. I did look at the link, and it's useful
information; but that's where I realized what may be a real difference.
I'm concerned about trying this because I didn't just close tabs - I
closed the entire FF instance. Not sure if/how this applies. I'm still
looking online.

I did come across the following page that appears to be almost exactly
what I did:
       https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1189759

Still researching it from that perspective. Concerned about doing
ANYTHING, until I have a good game-plan in place.

Thanks, Carl: Perusing History is really not an option, here, because
there were so many tabs/sites that were open. The guy in the link above
said he had 120 active tabs. I don't know how many tabs I had in that FF
instance -- maybe a little under half (?) -- so browsing history is not
really an option for me here.

If the info in the link above seems viable to any of you, let me know
(sort of corroborating/assuring).

Thanks,
-Rich
