   I've tried your suggestion, and as soon as I restart FF the error comes right back.

   Managed to get rid of these by
   1. setting
   "Tools → Options → Main → Startup → When Firefox starts"
   
   to "Show my windows and tabs from last time"
   
   2. changing my behaviour to close FF from the file menu
   before exiting Windows.
   
   This appearantly leads to a clean save/resume process instead of recovery from an emergency state.
   Whether or not both points are mandatory I dont't know.

   What you are essentially doing is disabling the auto saving of tabs via sessionStore which fixes the error, but I find it useful (for myself at least) to have the option of recovering tabs if the browser crashes without warning and takes down a dozen tabs from my last google search. Yes, I can probably retrieve the links from history but having the tabs show up by themselves is just much easier

   Patrick, perhaps check that your default startup page isnt the one causing nsSessionStore to crap up.

   Modify nsSessionStore.js, around line 1896, changing it from:
   this._writeFile(this._sessionFile, oState.toSource());
   
   to:
   this._writeFile(this._sessionFile, "(" + this._toJSONString(oState) + ")");

   Just empty the cache of FF. Press CTRL+Shift+Delete. Select all except saved passwords.
   
   Problem fixed. ;)

   well a huge thanks to Carey Underwood !
   
   that actually seems to work :-)
   
   been searching about year for this !
   One can only hope that the Mozilla people actually bring it into Firefox at some point

    Thanks for this! I was tearing my hair out trying to understand what was wrong with my JS and it turns out all I had to do was restart FF.
