In each of three of my five profiles, I have one sessionstore.json and one sessionstore.bak. In my other two profiles, I have no sessionstore files of any kind. In those two profiles, I have set my [Privacy & Security > Private Data] preferences to always clear my Browsing History, Location Bar History, and Cache. I suspect (but have not tested) that clearing my Location Bar History is what deletes sessionstore.json and one sessionstore.bak. From the prior comments in this thread, I believe you can safely delete the numbered sessionstore files and any sessionstore.js as they are likely obsolete. -- David E.
