Firefox Home continues to show old, closed tabs

When Firefox Home on my iPhone syncs, it adds the tabs that are currently open on my computer, but it continues to list old tabs that I have long since closed on my computer. It does not list all old tabs, only some. I have reset, cleared data in my Sync account, signed in and out of FxHome, reset the iPhone, even reinstalled FxHome. The list of tabs continues to grow. I'll appreciate any suggestions and advice.

Chosen solution

It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.

Delete the files sessionstore.js [2] and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.

If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well. Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).
