How do I stop the automatic restore of the previous session after a crash?

Firefox

I occasionally use the Task Manager to end a Firefox session, because a website will not let me close it without clicking something. I don't want Firefox re-opening the site.

Set the pref browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes to 0 on the about:config page to get the about:sessionrestore page immediately with the first restart after a crash has occurred or the Task Manager was used to close Firefox.

See:

To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.
