hello, can you go to the firefox menu ≡ > help ? > troubleshooting information, click on profile folder/show folder and close all firefox windows afterwards. a windows explorer window should open up - in there create a backup of all files starting with sessionstore. then inspect them and see if their modified date would match the session you're trying to restore, in which case you might paste the content of the file into a site like https://firefox-session-restore.herokuapp.com/

otherwise i fear you'll have to reconstruct those sites through your history ...

You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:
