If you'd prefer to remain in control, you can also launch multiple programs from a single batch file rather than completely automatizing the process. To make sure that all the folders you have open when your computer shuts down are opened again when its starts back up, all you need to do is tick a checkbox.

Make sure that box is ticked, click OK, and you'll be up and running for the next reboot. While system tools can help you out in a pinch, the most elegant way to retrieve your workspace after a reboot is to download a specialized piece of software.
SmartClose offers an easy way of re-opening your specified processes for free. CacheMyWork is much the same in terms of its functionality, but its minimalist approach to UI will either be a selling point or a detriment, depending on your tastes. SmartClose has the edge in terms of settings you can tweak, but the straightforward CacheMyWork has its own appeal in terms of simplicity. However, if you're looking for a tool that can re-open files and folders as well as applications, you're going to have to pay for it.
Apart from the windows themselves, the program will remember the content that was being displayed—for instance, if you had several tabs open in your web browser, they'll be restored, too.
It's a powerful tool and definitely has its advantages over the free alternatives; the only question is whether you'll use it enough for the price to be palatable.
The most comprehensive way to preserve your Windows experience through a reboot is to utilize a virtual machine. They add more and more crap to firefox, but they cant make the basic option work!!!!! You should be implementing some sort of recovery solution. For the meantime, have you even tried a right click of the sessionstore. Replace the file sessionstore. The root of the system drive?!? Martin, for the rest of your life, this is worth remembering — we are NOT all administrators. And nor should we be; administer from an admin account, work every day from your everyday account.
Why not just do some renames? The extra challenge we have now mid with Windows 10 is how these applications handle multiple virtual desktops. And Andrew Gillett for the link that allows to go forward into recovering the [backup].
Thanks for the above. What if Firefox does not update the sessionstore. We have a system where some of our files are on a central server and some on a local machine. Some of the time the backups work but not always. I just discovered that the last backup was from December so none of my tabs and bookmarks since then are saved. Firefox lost 2 out of my 4 packed windows, was about to despair but renaming previous. Then I see the NEW version, and it starts sounding a lot more complicated and arcane.
Way too many different files and names to keep track of. Also, what if you just name the newest folder? Do you really have to rename the whole sequence of them to work properly? In addition I have other problems. Am I supposed to do something with its contents after opening sessionstore-backups file?
No recovery. If the 2 March session is lost forever does 6 refer to the most recent previous. How do I open the root folder and how do I copy a file to it? I used Recuva to restore all the session restore files but each time it only restored one tab, I tried numerous times following instructions above for Firefox 56 and newer instructions.
I have tried the two options that have worked for me in the past, to load some tabs and end firefox with task manager to resemble a crash or ending normally and copying the recover file to sessionstore. After repeated attempts it now does not give any options to restore tabs, I have checked about:config and setting is ok.
This this this this this! Your step by step for Firefox saved my working life. Thank you so much! As therefore normal, updated, started, session broken This is normal until the time we got Quantum — for me and many others. Not fixed until now! I write this so everyone who reads this can better choose if he thinks they love their baby. I have tried all directories listed for restore but no luck. I am on MAC os running Firefox Wow this still worked! Some of those files appeared to be newer than what I wanted, but I just followed the directions and it worked!
I am thinking now that it might be a good idea to make periodic incremental backups of these files, so that I could manually restore them to any point in time!
Many thanks! Hi is this help only for Windows? I havent. How can i backup all my sessions? How can i make backup from sessionstore? I think this files are backup of sessions? I used this article twice to reopen lots of my lost browser tabs. I used other websites, even mozilla forum, but not even one of their solutions solved the issue.
I greatly appreciate your help. This article was great. Used it many times when the usual backup and restore failed.
No way! Thank you for this tutorial, it helped me a lot. I thought restoring my session was a lost cause. Thank You so much Martin! You saved me and my previous session. However the current version of Firefox give some different names to those files but with your description I was able to identify them. And I simply replaced the sessionstore. If there are simple steps which can help to have sessions restored automatically without having to do any reconfig or whatever.
