When I start firefox it apologises for not being able to open the previous tabs, perhaps due to one of the tabs that was open before.

But when I tell it to have another go it always succeeds.

So why can't it do it the first time? Is the problem my end or is there a bug?

(FF all versions, Ubuntu 12.04)

Sounds that Firefox has crashed.

If you have submitted crash reports then please post the IDs of one or more recent crash reports that have a "bp-" prefix:

  • bp-xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx

You can find the IDs of the submitted crash reports on the about:crashes page.

  • You can open the about:crashes page via the location bar, like you open a website, or open the crash reports page via "Help > Troubleshooting Information".
