Can I recover firefox windows when I've used other sites, as restore previous session is no longer available?

I had around 5 windows open with tabs that I would really like to recover. However, after turning my mac off, I forgot to click the "restore previous session" button and carried on as usual, and now "restore previous session" is no longer available, and some of these tabs have been open for a long time. Is there any way these windows can be recovered in their entirity? None of these pages were bookmarked and there's too many for me to remember. Many thanks in advance.

You can check the Time Machine to see if you can locate a sessionstore.js file that has that lost session.

Unfortunately my time machine wasn't configured for some reason.

Any other way I can retrieve it?

Not without a backup copy of sessionstore.js with that session.
