Yup, it seems like its expecting but doesnt see a session restore file, I think it should probably either be told to not expect one, or we should migrate and provide it
Priority: -- → P3

This appears to be still in play: with the "Opening previous windows and tabs" checkbox UNchecked, FireFox 96.0.3 consistently starts with the message screen that it can't find the previous session tabs; irrespective of how Firefox was closed.
When clicking on the "restore previous session" button, it suddenly can find those tabs ?!
The only way I found around the annoying errorscreen is to check the "Opening previous windows and tabs" option under General-Startup...

Expected behavior is that there is no attempt made to restore anything when the option is unchecked and Firefox closed normally (i.e. no crash).

Severity: normal → S3
