Whether I close my browser with the red 'X' at the top left, I end the process with the task manager, or the browser crashes, no recovery files are created. Firefox does not create a sessionstore.js or a sessionstore.jsonlz4, or any of the other types of files that could contain previous browser sessions. All I have is the sessionstore-backups folder, and it's empty. I don't have my firefox saving browser history, but I know it can create sessionstore.js anyway, because it does on a different computer of mine. My OS is Windows 7, and I'm using firefox quantum version 60.0.1.

I believe I've found the solution.

In the general tab of the options menu is an option for constantly using private browsing mode.

I disabled this, and files appeared in the folder 'sessionstore-backups'.

Hope this helps someone else.
