Why is Firefox not loading my pages at startup anymore?
FF 12.0. Why now all of a sudden is FF not loading my pages at startup. It loads the "pinned" pages, but NONE of the other ones I had open. This is happening at every FF startup now. Really, this was the ONLY feature that was keeping me with FF. The performance has gone dramatically down, and the problems more frequent ever since 4 was released. I am getting to the end of my rope with this now. Any ideas?

No previous session option, it is grayed out.
I did try the file exit way to close, and it brought the tabs back up. Is that a change in 12? Not good, we don't always or even often get the chance to close down like that. It was never like that in the past. It did not matter if you hit the X, or ended the process in the task manager... the tabs ALWAYS came back up. It was a feature that nobody else had working in that matter at the time. Honestly, it is the only reason I have been using FF on a regular basis for the past couple of years. Now I have to worry about losing my tabs when it is not closed down "properly", or spend a hour looking through the history and trying to figure out what I had open.

I had the same problem. I found out it was a buggy extension. Try disabling all your addons and then restarting. You can do this easily from the menu: Help -> Restart with Addons Disabled...
Then what... run FF without any extensions? It would be pretty useless to me in that state.
I have just gotten so sick and tired of screwing around with this that I have already moved on to GOOGLE CHROME. If FF gets all the bugs worked out, I may take a look at it again in the future. Really though, I have lost all hope for this browser. Nothing but constant problems for the past 8 versions. On my other computer I am still running 3.x and it is MUCH more stable.
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
- Use "Disable all add-ons" on the Safe mode start window to disable all extensions.
- Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
