How about how to extract the info directly from the JSON file?
Any other ideas? [I'm tearing my hair out trying to fix this!] Any other forums to post to? (I'm not active on any Mozilla related forums presently, and I'm a mostly email list user vs web forum user). Web searches have not brought up much more than how to configure Session Restore, etc.
I will post any progress I am able to make on this.
[knock on wood] How often do you back up your profile data? If you're a heavy user, the more often, the better. Sync could serve the backup function if you need it done unusually frequently. It's never happened to me without a backup less than 2 days old in more than a decade of running multiple SM instances with lots of tabs always open, uptime averaging 23.5 hours (I backup the profile 6 or 7 days per week with it closed) with the instance also used for email, and uptime averaging upwards of 10 days in the one also used for IRC. Though it has happened to cause loss of quite a bit in a day or two, that has been very very infrequent. IOW, I think crashing and losing the session history is rather uncommon, though SM crashing here at all has been rather infrequent. All that said, check first to see if maybe there is an extension designed for such recovery. Absent that, mozillazine.org is the place to search to see if there is a howto for this kind of recovery, if one exists. It should be the same for both Firefox and SM. Absent finding those, I see that the json file seems to be all or mostly text but with no newlines. You could sed a copy of it to insert newlines before each instance of https://, http:// or ftp://, then manually remove whatever appears to follow each URL to each EOL. Once you do that, you could email it to yourself as an inline attachment. Then viewing in plain text mode you could click each URL in the email to have it open in a tab or window. You wouldn't have the fwd/back history in each window or tab, but at least you would have the URLs. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
