Whenever I start Firefox I get an error message that it has trouble recovering windows and tabs and gives me an option to close the windows displayed or restore the last window. It does this each time regardless of the last window. Each time I exit it crashes and I send a crash report. I tried a reset and it crashes. I have done complete virus and malware scans and have found nothing.
