Bug 1740987 Comment 25 Edit History

Note: The actual edited comment in the bug view page will always show the original commenter’s name and original timestamp.

I have managed to reproduce this issue in Win 10 and Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS using the following steps:
1. Open Nightly v96.0a1 from 2021-11-12
2. Login with a sync account that has some data.
3. Go to about:config
4. Change the value of the pref browser.migration.version from 121 to 120
4. Go to about:preferences
5. Activate session restore
6. Close session
7. Reopen the same profile
Expected Result: The session is restored properly.
Actual Result: The session is lost and the pages are improperly displayed.

I have also verified the fix using the same steps in the latest Nightly v97.0a1 from 2021-12-28 and Beta v96.0b9, as it does not appear to reproduce anymore.

@Darkspirit: 
1. I could not reproduce the main issue in Mac OS. Do you think it should also reproduce in Mac OS?
2. It appears as if it could be intermittent. Is that a possibility? 
3. How do I force the browser.migration.version to stay as 120 by normal user behavior?

@CosminS:
I also could not reproduce the issue with the bookmarks sidebar.  Can you verify whether the secondary issue is fixed in the latest builds?
