Looks like a corrupt sessionstore.js. I have it sometimes if my laptop crashes.

Before you do any actions save your last sessionstore files.
There is a fx copy of your last sessions in session backup folder in your 
firefox profile.

Your firefox profile is loacated under 
C:\Users\...\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profile\ProfileName\sessionstore-ba
ckups

There is also a TGM folder with in profile dir with some TGM files. Also all 
lost or to new? You could try to import these with TGM. If not possible go to 
1.)

1. Save the entire session backup-folder somewhere. May be we need it later in 
worst case.
2. close Firefox.
3. Check if its possible to recover the session by TGM right click to TGM bar 
-> there is a point session backup (suspect they are all to new, if you have 
not yet done a manual save in the past) or try to impoert the TGM files from 
profile folder...

4. If 3.) not helps copy a file that should be ok from the copied 
session-backup folder to your firefox profile folder. check for timestamps what 
should be ok.

There is already a file sessionstore.js & maybe sessionstor.bak in your profile 
folder. Rename it to something.

5. Now rename the copied file from sessions-backups folder to sessionstore.js. 
At this time it is important that your firefox is already closed, if not 
firefox would overwrite the sessionstore at close, your will lost your good 
content and copying action is to repeat...

6. Restart firefox and the recovered session should be available...as far the 
theory.
