Thunderbird keeps opening with 2 folders open, even though I close it with them closed, and rebooting does not help.

At one point several days ago I closed Thunderbird with two of my message folders open. Not whenever I open Thunderbird it opens with these same folders open, even though I may close it with no folders open or a message open or different folders open. Rebooting the computer did not solve the problem. This has happened twice. The first time I solved it by deleting the folder, but these are folder with a number of messages so I would rather solve the issue than use a workaround.

Chosen solution

Help/Troubleshooting, click Open Folder, close TB, delete or rename session.json. Does TB now start with the same tabs and windows opened that were open at the last closing?
