17:46:39 <a-865> which pref file contains open tabs info?
17:46:40 <a-865> when I keep SM open too long, it won't close without being killed, after which, it opens with a blank page
17:46:49 <a-865> :~(
17:47:27 <a-865> open too long also means too long since last backup :(
17:50:28 <tomman> a-865: IIRC it's sessionstore.something
17:50:29 <tomman> let me confirm
17:50:47 <tomman> yeah, sessionstore.json
17:50:49 <a-865> .json
17:51:06 <a-865> also sessionstor.bak
17:51:11 <tomman> a backup is always generated on each startup
17:51:25 <tomman> and yes, I've had that "sessionstore.json gets corrupted and zapped" issue sometimes
17:51:27 <a-865> but restoring either before restart isn't helping anything
17:51:57 <tomman> usually what I do in that case is to open sessionstore.bak (restoring it in such cases will not work!) with a JSON editor and manually pulling out my session from it
17:52:04 <a-865> it's caused by being forced to kill sm process due to it refusing to close itself
17:52:16 <tomman> I've had it happen even after a clean shutdown to
17:52:18 <tomman> --too
17:52:44 <a-865> is a json editor part of sm?
18:03:50 <a-865> I got the older tabs back, but none of the recents :(
18:06:15 <a-865> I've got to remember to try the Go menu next time!!! I always forget to look there. Instead I expect something in tools or help. :p
18:07:01 <a-865> right now I have two open profiles, and both have restore previous session unselectable
18:20:19 <a-865> I've simply got to return to restarting SM + back-it-up daily
18:20:53 <tomman> a-865: sadly no, no Mozilla-based product has ever shipped a JSON editor
18:21:05 <tomman> I just use any online-based editor I can find that runs here
18:21:30 <tomman> if you have few tabs, you can manage with a text editor, but sessionstore.json also includes per-tab history, so... it gets tricky
18:39:12 <ContributorTobin> hi
20:48:13 <njsg> a-865: "restore previous session unselectable" where?
20:48:21 <njsg> ah, Go menu?
20:48:57 <njsg> I need to check how does that compare to about:sessionrestore (i.e. if it allows restoring both ways)
