Editing old sessionstore.js files used to be easy can .jsonlz4 files be edited/converted? I need to sanitize a session, I am aware of https://www.jeffersonscher.com/ffu/scrounger.html but that's not what I want.

The above mentioned plugin didn't properly save back the edited mozlz4 file, I contacted the author about it. In case it helps someone I used this command line program to https://github.com/jusw85/mozlz4 to extract the json file and to convert it back into mozlz4. And for editing the extracted json used a program called "JSONedit".
