restoring tabs from Time Machine after crash

My Mac running OS 10.14 crashed when the power flickered. Of course Firefox was open with lots of tabs. The "Restore previous session" option is grayed out as it always is after a crash. How can I restore a previous session or the tabs from a Time Machine backup? (Note that I have never restored anything from Time Machine so I may need very specific instructions.) Any help will be appreciated!

Hello,
Lately scammers have been posting   (mainly in threads where no reply has been posted yet),   claiming to be Mozilla experts and asking users to either call a so-called toll-free phone number or giving them a link to a site, where they are promised to get expert help.
These posts of course are scams.
Hopefully informing you about this will scare them off and you won't see such scam post.
