sessionstore.js is all nul after OS hang. As best as I can recall the steps - I decided to take the opportunity after the OS hang to update FF. This is Vista @home on D531 laptop 1. OS hang, running FF 3.1b4pre 20090313 2. restart OS, insttall 3.5pre 20090527 3. start FF results: no sessionrestore options in FF. Error console has "SessionStartup: The session file is invalid: SyntaxError: illegal character" checked sessionstore.js with notepad++ - all 822250 bytes are null additional background - I frequently restore (1-2x per week), sometimes (but rarely) after OS hang. I've never had a bad sessionstore.js file
