Just came across this discussion, which on first sight looks rather worrying:

Re: Session Restore shortening SSD life?
.
The file mentioned in the thread, sessionstore.js, does not exist in any of my numerous profiles. There is a directory called sessionstore-backups which has a number of files totaling about 1M. The folks in that thread need to get a life.
EDIT: sessionstore.js exists in sessionstore-backups directory after FF is shut down. I noted this yesterday but the board has been a little wonky of late.

Re: Session Restore shortening SSD life?
I believe in current FF, its a transitory file.sessionstore.js
It exists at FF start, then gets move/renamed (or something or the other) to /sessionstore-backups/recovery.js, then on FF exit gets written back out to {Profile_Folder}/sessionstore.js.
(I'm sure that's not totally right, but something along those lines.)
Fire 750, bring back 250.

Re: Session Restore shortening SSD life?
noticed it before:

its the session restore intervall (default = 15s = 15000) for the "recovery.js" (re-)writing.
