How do I get my 32-bit FF session loaded into 64-bit FF?
I have just installed 64-bit FF. I can see that tabs have synched, but not previous 32-bit session. How can I migrate that session?

You can copy sessionstore.jsonlz4 from the 32-bit profile to the 64-bit profile, but if both versions are the same and are from the Mozilla server and not from the Microsoft store, then there is nothing against using the 32-bit profile with the 64-bit version provided that you no longer intent to use the 32-bit version and have uninstalled it. You can remove compatibility.ini in a profile to make this possible and use the Profile Manager to select this profile.
You can use the button on the "Help -> More Troubleshooting Information" (about:support) page to go to the current Firefox profile folder or use the about:profiles page (Root directory).
- Help -> More Troubleshooting Information -> Profile Folder/Directory:
Windows: Open Folder; Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profiles-where-firefox-stores-user-data
You can copy certain files with Firefox closed to the current profile folder to transfer or recover personal data. Note that best is to avoid copying a full profile folder.
