    Every time I open Mozilla Firefox, I get the screenshot that's shown here.

    I tried searching for my problem, but that's all that I could find, which doesn't help me with my problem.
    It's small, though, and I can just click "Start new session," but it's annoying.

    EDIT: Oops, I meant to name this Session Restore Screen.
    Can a staff member fix that?

    It means you aren't closing out all your tabs before you exit out of firefox. It's just asking if you want them restored.

    If you exit firefox with only one tab open it shouldn't do that.

    Thanks! I'll try that when I leave for school in a little while and report back when I come home for break.

    Nope, it's still happening.

    Also, I've always closed Mozilla without closing each of my tabs.
    I think it's because it crashed or something before I restored my computer to an earlier time period, and then undid it, and it somehow messed it up.

    It's also not saving my homepage settings.
    I removed Yahoo! Mail since I switched to Windows Live Mail, with an account on our ISP, and it keeps re-appearing.

    I just reinstalled it.
    Unfortunately, now that (2) is back.

    *looks for Mixt's solution*

    Weird issues like this sometimes crop up when upgrading from one operating system to another--on my old computer I upgraded from XP to Vista (lol) and I had issues with Firefox. Usually the best route to take is to backup your files & such, wipe the hard drive, and clean install the OS. It's a pain but sometimes it's worth saving you the trouble in the future.

    Well, reinstalling it fixed the problems.

    Like I said, I think it's because it crashed before I ran System Restore and I never recovered the tabs, so it got screwed up when I undid the restore.

    Anyway, the problem has been resolved, so this can be locked.
