Are you using Firefox/Tools > Options > General > Startup: "When Firefox Starts": "Show my windows and tabs from last time" ? ---- If you do not use "Show my windows and tabs from last time" then make sure that Firefox closes properly to prevent session restore from reopening a possibly crashed session. It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder. Delete the files sessionstore.js [2] and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder. * Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well.<br /> Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).
