At 12:40 am, on opening Firefox, I Lost open tabs (>70) and windows (4-5) from previous Firefox sessions that I had been restoring each time I opened Firefox over the past weeks (i.e., used to automatically restore on clicking the "Restore Session" on opening Firefox). Now Unable to Restore lost tabs (>70) and windows (4-5) from those previous sessions [On opening Firefox, "Restore session" button was missing and the firefox window displayed a blank page]. I closed and opened Firefox and have been unable to restore previously open tabs and windows (Using Firefox Version 88, Windows 10). Please advise.

if you need to rescue any data from sessionstore.jsonlz4, just move them out of the profile folder to some location where Firefox doesn't look for them. You can try to read out their contents using this tool: https://www.jeffersonscher.com/res/scrounger.html
