Due to unfortunate circumstances (my own shortcomings), I have managed to back up only ~/Library/Saved Application State/com.apple.Safari.savedState/windows.plist before making changes to that file, while overlooking data.data in the same directory. I now longer possess any version of that file to compatibly pair with windows.plist, thus Safari is no longer able to use the entries in windows.plist. On the other hand, I do possess a copy of ~/Library/Safari/History.db . How can I restore previously open windows and tabs by combining information from both of these files?
