How to Restore Internet Sessions in Firefox 4

One of the most useful features in Firefox 4 is its Crash Protection system which lets you restore any Internet Session after an unexpected crash. This little feature, in case of a crash, will ask you whether or not you wish to save and restore an Internet session. The Crash Protection works so well that even if you don’t manage to reopen a previous Internet session, you will still be able to do it by using a nice…Firefox command!

In the address bar, type about:sessionrestore and hit Enter.
At this point a menu will open in your Firefox window. On such a menu you will able to choose whether you want to restore a previous session.
You will also be given the option to reopen previous tabs.

Is there a way to display all the tabs that were closed at a certain date?
My FF didn’t crash but I closed the tabs by mistake (I remembered that there was an important group of tabs, a millisecond after confirming the closing), and I used FF afterwards, so not only it was not a crash, but the tabs that I want are not in the previous session anymore…
That’s why I believe the only way to recover them, is by searching the tabs that were closed at a certain date & time, if there is a way to do this..
