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

Thanks for the responses.

As for the close issue this raises the question of why I've always been able to close using the upper right hand corner x without having this problem before.

I followed your directions in your other response and found only a session store back up file, which I deleted. This seems to have solve the problem. Thanks!
