How to read or open a session file of Firefox Session Manager add-on
I have some *.session files from my previous Firefox from my previous PC that are very important to me.
I installed Firefox and Session Manager on my new PC, and copied those files to the respective folder (%appdata%MozillaFirefoxProfilesyhzy90ql.defaultsessions), but unfortunately the new session manager couldn't load them in its list. I tried to open a *.session file in Visual Studio, but nothing useful happened, so I have two related questions:
- How is it possible to open some session files that are manually copied in the default location by the session manager?
- What kind of tools or software except for session manager can open a session file?

Have you tried a simple text editor (like Notepad)?

of course I tried Notepad but what I saw was an encoded unreadable file and nothing more , in fact these files are recovered files from an accidentally deletion , some of them are readable by Notepad and one of them is not and its very important for me :( the question is why session manager couldn't open those session files that are readable by Notepad?
