This past week, Firefox's functionality for showing tabs from last time stopped working. It may not have been working earlier than that. I cannot find any reference to this being a current issue but based on the existing guidance and what I've tried, it should be working. Any ideas?

Chosen solution

It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.

Delete the sessionstore.js file and possible sessionstore-##.js files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.

Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).
