Safari cannot recover pages from past session - how to recover?
I usually have lots of windows and tabs open in safari, all very important work stuff. Usually if I quit Safari, or restart, or even if the computer crashes, Safari recovers the pages.
Today I noticed that private browsing would not work. The error shown in safari was:
the operation couldn't be completed no such file or directory nsposixerrordomain: 2
But regular browsing worked fine. Then some time later, regular browsing would produce the error, but private browsing would work fine. I quit Safari and restarted, but it still did not work properly. But then I switched my Safari profile and then both regular and private browsing worked, even when switching back to the original profile.
But I also realized that every window's active tab is blank instead of the recovered website that it used to be at. The error window in all these blank tabs says: Safari cannot open the page because the address is invalid.
If I click ok, then close the tab, but try command+shift+T, it does not open the blank tab.
How do I recover the tabs that have been lost? There are 30 of them all with the same error message.
