Firefox was hanging a bit, so I closed it. Then I ran it again. It just immediately froze and the entire window was white, so I closed it and ran it again. No tabs. I immediately went into appdata and saved copies of the sessionstore backups. I then went to close firefox again so I could use them to restore the tabs, but it said it was updating right before I closed it and then updated to a new version and restarted.
I then closed it and tried putting one of the sessionstore backups into the profile folder as sessionstore.js. Opening firefox then just opens two separate windows with one tab each of google. I tried the other backup and it just does the same thing. This is all it will open instead of my 173 tabs that were open.
The backup files are 4.22 MB large though. Surely the tabs are still in them? Maybe they are corrupted? Is there any way to fix this and get them working?

See the attachments.
Firefox is having difficulty with a script and it appears to be having difficulty with a script in outlook.com or at least with one of the internet sites i have open, outlook.com, gmail, or outlook contacts "people". I get this script error and slow response often but not every time i'm logged in. However, it always happens with outlook.com open. Scrolling through the debug window has some references to outlook.com. It is always this same script and when it happens, stopping the script or clicking continue does nothing but hang up firefox. I have to use task mgr to kill firefox and then restart it. Can i do anything on my end to fix this very annoying issue? I have clicked on share data with outlook.com open but i'm not getting this script error at this time.

Using Firefox 44.0.2 on Ubuntu 14.04 everything had been working before an update.
Now trying to scroll through any web with the mousewheel seems to trigger the same action as the back or forward buttons would be used for.
( I have seen it happen on reddit.com and http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/286 )
I have tried disabling gestures as was described here:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/915174
I tried setting all the mousewheel actions to 0 as described here.
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/943700
This page https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1111123 suggests setting middlemouse.contentLoadURL to false, but for me it was already false.
I am triggering the back/forward jumps accidentally so often that Firefox is almost unusable.
Firefox Cut-and-Paste not working, found solution in a FEBE AddOn setting

This is not technically a PROBLEM per se , but hopefully more of a possible SOLUTION for a general problem, for some users anyway.
I had been fighting a problem with FireFox updates (I thought) having disabled my Cut-and-Paste ability from practically any webpage to my word processing products (like "Microsoft's Word"). The Cut-and-Paste feature would work if pasted to Window's Notepad, but not to Word. After lots of searching, I found (by accident) a feature in the Environment Backup Extension (FEBE) AddOn feature for Firefox to be causing the problem (for me). Using the "about:config" feature, I searched for "clipboard". I then reset (toggled) the "extensions.febe.copyToClipboard" from "false" to "true". The problem went away. I don't know what issue this may be affecting in the AddOn, but I can do more without FEBE than I can Cut-and-Paste not working.

I've experienced several problems recently, following a Kaspersky Anti-virus update to version 16.0.0.614(e) . Apparently after the my dial-up internet connection drops, Firefox freezes, and freezes everything else. Before the connection drops everything runs fine for several hours.
If I get control back - i.e. if the browser finally closes - it wants to send a report to Microsoft - even though I wasn't running I.E. I guess its a Windows thing.
I haven't been prompted by FF to send a crash report in all this time, but crash it has. Per a FF help, I checked about:crashes and nothing is listed since January, before all this bizarre stuff started happening.
I sent the report to Microsoft since they asked. This is what was in it.
C:\DOCUME~1\Amy\LOCALS~1\Temp\WER2151.dir00\firefox.exe.mdmp C:\DOCUME~1\Amy\LOCALS~1\Temp\WER2151.dir00\appcompat.txt
szAppName: firefox.exe szAppVer: 44025884 szModName: hungapp szModVer: 0.0.0.0 offset:00000000
If I don't get control back from the hanging FF, and choose to force a restart, I notice error messages before shut down.
The latest were -.net-broadcast
followed by A.case no.3 ....
I have no idea what these mean.
I also had an event 2 days ago with a hot link in an email booting IE while FF was running. That had never happened before.
target of hotlink: https://weather.com/weather/today/l/Bloomfield+NJ+07003
where it ended up: window titled: Address not valid - Windows Internet Explorer
and the url: res://ieframe.dll/syntax.htm#
I hope someone can shed some light on these experiences.
Thanks

Mozilla shows and blocks homeshopmachinist.net as a reported attack page though I have been using it up until several hours ago for the past 5 years. I wanted to access the link MOZILLA gives to "unblock" it, as opposed to hitting the ignore button, and Avast! blocks access to that page, stopbadware.org as the certificate is invalid. You see the problem that has been created? What do I do to get out of this loop? Hoping for your sakes that the original blocking is legitimate and NOT a false positive. IF it turns out to be a false positive, good-bye AND I will spread the word.

First I am not using Nvidia Forceware I see that is an issue. I do have an Nivida graphics card but I just double checked I have never used Forcewar
What happens is if I install Firefox, it will launch one time and operate as normal. If I close it(and it is closed I see the exe gone from Task Manager) and I reopen it, it does not open. It just sits as a 20-30 meg exe in Task Manager.
I have tried deleting my profile manually(the profile manager won't even launch), safe mode, and deleting all of my addons. My addons are Ghostery, Thumbnail Zoom Plus, uBlock Origin, and Who Deleted Me for Facebook.
Plugins OpenH264, Flash, and VLC. All at the latest versions.
Regardless even with a fresh install this happens.
I have cleared my cache from %localappdata% and compelely deleted my profile from %appdata%
If I install Firefox 42 the problem goes away immediately.
Any ideas? Thanks.

I have multiple computers, and I don't know which one is providing the "base" sync, or which one is being upgraded. It appears that new changes (an added extension, or bookmark) gets "erased" by something. There does not seem to be a way to say PC 'A' is the device to sync to or, to say PC 'B' adds a bookmark and I want it reflected on 'A' and 'C.'
It would help if I could access or see the sync so that I could figure what is forming the "base" of my synced data, or if I could edit that directly to push to all devices.
