I found a fix to this at https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=668359, and it worked for me.

FIX:

Use a text editor and open the good sessionstore.bak is you still have it.

If the file begin like this:

{"windows":[],"selectedWindow":0,"_closedWindows":[{"tabs":[{"entries":[{"url":"https://

Only delete:

],"selectedWindow":0,"_closedWindows":[

So you get:

{"windows":[{"tabs":[{"entries":[{"url":"https://
