How can I start Firefox in a brand new session?

I got onto a malware site that wants to scan my computer for viruses. There is currently a popup window that says "Threat Detected. Please click the Protect button to make your system safe." I don't want to do that.

I can't close the popup by clicking the 'X' in the upper corner. No other options are available in Firefox. Everything is disabled until I press Protect.

I restarted the computer and restarted Firefox, and the first thing I see is "Threat Detected".

So I want to start a new session so the malware Tab won't open from the previous session.

(I'm using Google Chrome to post this.)

Many thanks....

Run firefox from console with the -safe-mode option. Like

firefox -safe-mode

or

firefox.exe -safe-mode

Delete sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Profile Folder to make Firefox forget the previous session.

You will have to redo App Tabs and Tab Groups after deleting sessionstore.js.
