      Yesterday evening I got around to quitting Safari (open with 7 windows and hundreds of tabs) and updating SessionRestore to the latest version. This morning I noticed all windows had gone except the most recently used one. And since autosave was only saving the last 10, I don't have a saved session with all my windows and tabs.
      I do have Time Machine backups -- what file(s) should I restore to get back to the state I had yesterday afternoon? I tried restore LastSession.plist but that didn't do it.
      I've upped the number of auto-saved sessions to 50 to prevent this happening again.
