+===== Firefox session recovery =====
+If Firefox crashes and you lose all (or some of) your tabs/windows, this might get them back.
+  - Make a backup/tarball of ''~/.mozilla/firefox/<profile>/sessionstore-backups'' (do this immediately, you don't have to stop Firefox first)
+  - Quit Firefox gracefully, so that it creates the file ''~/.mozilla/firefox/<profile>/sessionstore.jsonlz4''
+  - Before starting Firefox back up again, find the file ''.../sessionstore-backups/previous.jsonlz4'' in your backup, and overwrite the existing ''sessionstore.jsonlz4'' file
+  - When you start Firefox back up, hopefully your old session will be restored.  If that doesn't work, try all the other ''*.jsonlz4'' files (quit Firefox and overwrite the main ''sessionstore.jsonlz4'' file with each one, and start Firefox back up to test)
