Steps to reproduce:

Its a heavily loaded Firefox esr.
I try to keep as close as possible to current version in Debian testing (bullseye at present) using lightdm and lxqt.
(Going from memory on load) 45+ windows with likely well over a thousand tabs likely with only a hundred or so active tabs.
Due to a violent thunderstorm and an ensuing power outage was forced to shutdown the system.
After power was restored (many hours later) I restarted the system.
Upon restarting Firefox only the single page appeared.

Actual results:

Restarted Firefox (which had the 'restore previous session' marked) to a single blank page.

Expected results:

I expected that all the pages and tabs would have been restored.

Hey AJ,
I tried reproducing this issue using Ubuntu 18.04 with the latest versions of Firefox Nightly 91.0a1 (2021-06-11), beta 90.0b5, esr 78.11.0 and release 89.0 but it restores all my previously opened tabs.
