Won't restore tabs, lost tabs, where are bookmarks

Browser Support

In each of the BB user’s profile folders, there is a folder named Sessions.

In the Sessions folder, files like:

  • Session_13382221894366221
  • Tabs_13382477836056428

The long numbers in the file names, are time-and-date info.

I suspect that some senior-ranking, settings-monitoring function keeps track of those numbers.

Meaning, the probability of successfully copying such a Tabs_13382477836056428 file (hoping it is a “known good one”) with intent to replace another such file (possible “bad one”) . . . I do not know, I have never tried.

In the User Data folder, there is a folder named Snapshots.

In the Snapshots folder, other folders with names that match Chromium version numbers - for example:

  • 131.1.73.105
  • 132.1.74.51

Within those folders, there are user profile folders - and within each of those profile folders, Sessions folders containing files like:

  • Session_13382221894366221
  • Tabs_13382477836056428

My two cents are, that the probability of successful replacements of items, is highest by replacing the entire User Data folder of interest. Next highest chance, replacing the entire profile folder of interest.

But you may find, thru some experimentation, what works at more granular levels.

With Brave Browser not running, it is easy to replace the Bookmarks files and expect good results.

Recommended:

. . . and the BraveSoftware folder, if MacOS / Linux OS. User Data folder, if Windows OS.
