Ah, fantastic! Or rather, damn, I was hoping it was proper JSON and not
some sort of bizarre mutant.
For what it's worth, removing the leading/trailing parentheses gives a
different error:
>>> import io
>>> import json
>>> filename = '.mozilla/firefox/2z5po7dx.default/sessionstore.js'
>>> text = open(filename).read()
>>> text = io.StringIO(text[1:-1])
>>> x = json.load(text)

Presumably that's the error you get when you don't quote your property
names properly.
