SUMMARY

Firefox stores the last session data in the file named sessionstore.js, which is saved in JSON format. This file contains the necessary information to restore the previous session after a crash. Users can access this file from their backup to retrieve the configuration of Firefox as it was at the time of the backup. The same session management applies to Flock, which operates similarly to Firefox.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Firefox session management
  • Familiarity with JSON file format
  • Basic knowledge of file backup and restoration
  • Awareness of Flock browser functionality
NEXT STEPS
  • Research how to locate and modify sessionstore.js in Firefox
  • Learn about JSON parsing techniques for data extraction
  • Explore Firefox profile management for session backups
  • Investigate Flock browser features related to session restoration
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for web developers, IT professionals, and users interested in data recovery and session management in Firefox and Flock browsers.
