You can delete sessionstore.jsonlz4 and the sessionstore-backups folder to prevent opening tabs from a previous session. Note that reinstalling Firefox doesn't affect personal data stored in the Firefox profile folder as this folder is located elsewhere.

Firefox uses two locations for the Firefox profile folder. Primary location used for the main profile that keeps your personal data (Root Directory on about:profiles).

  • ~/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles/<profile>

Secondary location used for the disk cache and other temporary files (Local Directory on about:profiles).

  • ~/Library/Caches/Firefox/Profiles/<profile>

In Mac OS X v10.7 and later, the "~/Library" folder in the Home directory is a hidden folder.
