--- Comment #1 from Christopher Hall <hsw@bitmark.com> ---
I had this error on one machine, but another identical setup was ok. This was
on the update from 117 to 118 I think. The only way I fixed it was to create a
fresh profile then shutdown Firefox, copy the session-store dirs/files to the
new profile; it took a few attempts but I did get all 300+ tabs back. I still
had to reinstall extensions and do other setup. I think it happened because
Firefox was running during the upgrade and I ran it for a while before it
popped up the "Restart Firefox" dialog. Now I stop fFirefox, run a script to
backup the profile, then do pkg upgrade. The upgrade to firefox-119.0_1,2 was
successful.for me with this method.
