This is on android L, and I'm running nightly.
Already attempted to grab sessionstore.bak but it was an empty file ({"windows":[]}).

Comment 2

I tried replicating this scenario (using Release through Nightly), I enumerated through and opened a large listing of tabs (~25) on my Galaxy S5 (4.4.4). After LastPass installation, upon restart, all my tabs were still open. Perhaps there is a conditional not met depending on resources on your device? What's the expected behaviour here Brian, re: session restore after restart?

Comment 3

[Brian Nicholson (:bnicholson)]

They should stay around. Liam, are you able to reproduce this consistently?

Comment 4

[liam]

As mentioned, this might be a peculiarity with Android L.
Opened 70 tabs, installed lastpass, restarted and tabs were restored.
So, not reproducible.
Even assuming Android killed ff why would that cause sessionstore.bak to be empty? IMHO, that's the most troubling bit.

I have L Preview on my Nexus 7, I'll try this tomorrow.

Comment 6

[Aaron Train [:aaronmt]]

I wasn't able to reproduce this on L Preview (25 tabs open, installed LastPass, restarted).

Any suggestions as to how to get my session history back?
There's a few large (binary) databases hanging around.

Comment 8

[liam]

Any help in recovering the session would be appreciated...

Comment 9

[Brian Nicholson (:bnicholson)]

Session history will be stored in either SessionStore.js or SessionStore.bak. Unfortunately, if those are both empty, your session history is lost. At that point, the best I can recommend is to look through your History panel to see the most recently opened sites.

Thanks for the help, Brian.
