      I had some private windows open in Opera (30.0.1...) when my computer (macbook pro, OSX 10.8.5) shut itself down.
      This has happened again 5 or 6 times.
      Is there any way I can recover the windows, or my browsing history while I was using private windows?
      ISP have not responded to request (didn't expect them to).
      I have checked trash for temp files.
      I have tried to view router logs - I got 25 pages that I don't understand timestamped Jan-Apr from Dlink router/modem.
      I couldn't get anything off apple airport express box.
      I have tried viewing a dump of the DNS cache - I got a large dump I don't understand. There doesn't appear to be any urls or ip addresses in it though, but I could be missing them.
      I have tried using console to check every log, and search for something that could be it, checked activity monitor, airport express, nothing.
      I have read that the firewall stores in and outbound packets? Mine is off, but set to log as far as I can tell. I checked the log in console, but had same result as DNS cache log.
      Is there any way I can recover this information? It is extremely important, I am more than willing to check through excess data if the windows themselves can't be found.
