Hi aidunno,

Sorry to hear about the crash—that's always frustrating, especially with workspaces in Floorp. Since Floorp is based on Firefox, recovery options are similar, but it has its own twists with workspaces (which are essentially enhanced tab groups). I'll walk you through some steps to try recovering your tabs. Make sure to back up your Floorp profile folder first (usually found in %APPDATA%\Floorp\Profiles on Windows, or ~/.floorp/profiles on Linux/macOS) to avoid any further data loss.

1. Basic Restart and Auto-Restore
Start by relaunching Floorp. It often tries to restore sessions automatically after a crash. If that doesn't work:
- Go to Menu > History > Restore Previous Session (or use Ctrl+Shift+T for recently closed tabs).
- For workspaces specifically, check if Floorp's workspace manager (under the sidebar or extensions) has any restore options—sometimes it saves states separately.

2. Check Recently Closed Items
- Open the History menu and look under Recently Closed Tabs or Recently Closed Windows. You might be able to reopen entire groups from there.
- If you had a lot of tabs, try Menu > History > Manage History and search for your lost tabs manually.

3. Manual Recovery from Session Files (More Advanced)
Floorp stores session data in compressed files. You'll need to dig into your profile folder:
- Close Floorp completely.
- Navigate to your profile folder (e.g., C:\Users\YourName\AppData\Roaming\Floorp\Profiles\xxxxxxxx.default).
- Look in the sessionstore-backups subfolder for files like recovery.jsonlz4 or previous.jsonlz4.
- Copy the most recent one (based on timestamp) to the main profile folder and rename it to sessionstore.jsonlz4.
- Restart Floorp—it should load from that backup.

If you're not comfortable with file tinkering, tools like Mozilla's Session Manager extension (if compatible with Floorp) or even exporting your history beforehand can help prevent this in the future.

4. If Nothing Works
- Check Floorp's settings under Menu > Settings > General > Startup to ensure session restore is enabled.
- Consider installing an extension like Tab Session Manager or Workona for better workspace backups going forward.
- If the crash was due to an extension or update, try running Floorp in Safe Mode (hold Shift while launching) to troubleshoot.

If these don't get your tabs back, could you share more details? Like your OS, Floorp version, or if there were any error messages during the crash? Hang in there—we'll figure it out!
