Session manager empty after crash!

After a crash my session manager icon is still visible as well as my bookmarks, but the session manager is now completely empty; it doesn't remember a single session. I am using Firefox 22.0. How do I restore the list? My add-ons page shows that Session Manger 0.8.0.7 is an "available" add-on but I am concerned that if I try to install, it will erase my saved sessions that are hopefully not lost but merely hidden somewhere.

You can check for problems with the sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak files in the Firefox profile folder that store session data.

Delete the sessionstore.js file and possible sessionstore-##.js files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox profile folder.

Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost and you will have to recreate them (make a note or bookmark them if possible).
