Marcus Thunder Posted April 18, 2009 Author Share Posted April 18, 2009 I found a solution to the problem ....Finally///////// :) as Firefox updated itself the file that contained the history and cache, the profile, migrated from c:/Users/xxx/Appdata/local/mozilla/firefox to C:/users/appdata/ROAMING/Mozilla/Firefox so i copied the folder c:/Users/xxx/Appdata/local/mozilla/firefox/Profiles to C:/users/xxx/appdata/ROAMING/Mozilla/Firefox and edited the file C:/users/xxx/appdata/ROAMING/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles.ini ============================================================From:[General]StartWithLastProfile=1[Profile0]Name=defaultIsRelative=1Path=Profiles/xs9nnsnh.default=============================================================TO:[General]StartWithLastProfile=1[Profile0]Name=defaultIsRelative=1Path=Profiles/2k0546xm.default=============================================================I opened firefox and everything was restored.I mean all the historyand the tabs opened in the previous session.This trick Does Not restore Add-ons.....To restore them use nightly_tester_tools as previously mentioned.AT THE END I WOULD LIKE TO THANK Bizarre™ for Participating and Helping.... :think: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
