Just till this is fixed.

. . . can't restore session

You may have corrupt sessionstore [v56] sessionstore.jsonlz4 file(s). Delete all sessionstore* files and the sessionstore-backups folder.

Don't delete the files if you need to rescue any data from them, 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

Look on your desktop. Do you see a folder called; Old Firefox? Look inside. Look for the folder with the latest creation date.

Hi FredMcD,

I backed the sessionstore files and my bookmarks were up and running! I encounter that the sessionstore.jsonlz4 is of over 57 Mbs, as I like to have tons of sessions to restore in various old tabs...

Thaks for you help.
