Lost all my active tabs, but everything else is still in place

Hey there.

After a Windows restart, Firefox opened up as usual startup program, however there was only a single empty New Tab, instead of my dozens and dozens of previously opened tabs.

Everything else: history, downloads, cookies, bookmarks, extenstions are still in place, nothing changed, just the tabs went missing.

I tried to delete the current sessionstore file and replace it with the backup one, but didn't help.

I managed to find those missing tabs using Scrounger tool, they are all there, however I can't manage Firefox to open them for some reason.

I'm out of ideas about how to fix it. any suggestion is welcomed!

Thank you.

Hey there!

I've run a Malwarebytes search and got these results:

That .json file only contains a single line with an "ID=random numbers" in it and the folder doesn't include anything else, so I can't really locate what it might reference to or what created it in the first place.

Should I be worried? How can I determine which program recreates it everytime and where does it "report to"?
