Firefox now opens with 18 tabs! How do I get firefox to only open with 1 tab?
This started a few days ago, opening with a few tabs, gradually increasing in number every time I later opened Firefox. Now opening with 18 tabs!
Under Options>General>Startup, the Restore Previous Session box is left blank.
I have uninstalled and re-installed but this has made no difference.
Anyone else had this problem and any suggestions.
Thank you,
Ally.

You may have corrupt sessionstore [v56] sessionstore.jsonlz4 file(s). Delete all sessionstore* files and the sessionstore-backups folder.
Type about:support<enter> in the address bar.
Under the page logo on the left side, you will see Application Basics. Under this find Profile Folder. To its right press the button Show Folder. This will open your file browser to the current Firefox profile. Now Close Firefox.
Linux: Under the page logo on the left side, you will see Application Basics. Under this find Profile Directory. To its right press the button Open Directory.
Locate the above file. Then rename or delete it. Restart Firefox.
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:
