My profile contains 14 versions of the file "sessionstore", numbered 1

Do I need all these? Any? Can I delete some? All? What are they?

Quoting that page:
Firefox writes the sessionstore.js file to disk every 15 seconds, to
be able to restore tabs after a crash or restart. Certain sites can
make the sessionstore.js file grow very large leading to poor
performance, this addon can help identify which tabs store unusually
large amounts of data (form data, DOM sessionStorage, or many
subframes/history states).

Thank you, Mason, for your insights. Your reply helps me understand the purpose of the file, but it doesn't fully address my concerns. I don't seem to have a "Sessionstore.js" as your reference discussed (but do have a json in many versions).

In addition to the json and bak (alone) versions, I have fourteen json versions numbered 1 through 14, with dates stretching back almost six years. It's those I still wonder about.

I have only one sessionstore.js in my FireFox profile.
I don't have any sessionstore.js in my SeaMonkey profile.
My SeaMonkey profile contains:
- sessionstore.json dated 14-10-17
- sessionstore-1.json dated 09-11-16
- sessionstore-2.json dated 13-11-16

I don't have any sessionstore.bak file
