Trouble shooting section does not seem to show, so here goes again. I have left the machine set after shutting down firefox (no hanging threads.) Changed under options, to blank (my choice), home page, or last opened--- stays at last opened even if options show my choice on closing/opening. Restarted in safe mode (both windows/firefox separately or at the same time. Disabled Norton anti-virus and changed. disabled all add-ons/plug ins and changed.

any more ideas / help?

It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.

Delete the sessionstore.js file and possible sessionstore-##.js files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.

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).
