Every time I open firefox I get the "Well, this is embarrassing...." message. I have read everything on the support site that seems to pertain and have tried adjusting settings, but to no avail. The CAN'T RESTORE still pops up. This is not happening as the result of a crash. I have FIREFOX WILL: set to open home page.

hello, this is currently a problem in firefox when you first close all open firefox windows and then close the application afterwards - the bug should be addressed in a later version of firefox.

as a workaround in the meanwhile you could close firefox (through firefox > quit) while the browser window is still running or try this: enter about:config into the firefox location bar (confirm the info message in case it shows up) & search for the preference named browser.sessionstore.resume_from_crash. double-click it and change its value to false.
