I hate it when that happens, so I wrote: https://github.com/vossenjp/utils/blob/main/ff-sess.sh

No guarantee, except (wait for it) "it works for me."  You run it from cron and it does its thing, then on the rare times when FF crashes and stuff doesn't Just Come Back, you DOWN FF and restore either manually or using the menu.  I'm not sure how it will react to Jeff's even-more-paranoid-than-my config, but...it's something.  In some ways it will defeat the kill-it-all-on-close settings, but the data are out-of-reach of the browser unless restored, and I assume some kind of disk or $HOME encryption at rest.

Later,
JP
