For the past week the little tab that pops up when I close firefox that reads something like "your previous session closed unexpectedly, click here to restore" has stopped popping up. I am also unable to restore my previous session through the "Restore Previous Session" option in the options. Any advice?

Don't delete the files if you need to rescue any data from them, just move them out of the profile folder to some location where Firefox doesn't look for them. You can try to read out their contents using this tool: https://www.jeffersonscher.com/res/scrounger.html
