%APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles

Hi Larry, when you "kill" Firefox using the Task Manager, at the next startup, Firefox tries to restore all the windows and tabs you had open, even the ones with bad content. In this case, I suggest trying to bypass those session history files so Firefox is forced to start up with your home page. Please roll up your sleeves because this is going to take some deep clicking. First, please set Windows to show hidden files and file extensions. These articles have the steps: * http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/show-hidden-files * http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/show-hide-file-name-extensions Second, copy the following, paste it into the system search box, and press Enter to run it: %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles That should open a new window listing one or more semi-randomly-named folders. This folder (or one of these folders) contains your Firefox data as of the last time you used it. ''(If that shortcut doesn't work, you can manually navigate to:''<br>C:\Users\''username''\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles) Double-click into the folder and look for any files with these names and if you find them, right-click > Rename them: * sessionstore.js => sessionstore-bad.js * sessionstore.bak => sessionstore-bad.bak Then right-click the '''sessionstore-backups''' folder and rename it to '''sessionstore-backups-bad''' so we can keep it for possible future salvage operations. Now you can reinstall Firefox and when it start up, it should have all your old settings except that it won't open the old windows and tabs from the crashed session. You can download a full installer from the following page (scroll down to your preferred language): https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/ ''For maximum plugin compatibility, choose the 32-bit version.'' Success?
