When I opened a new Firefox window, all of the windows and tabs that I had closed suddenly pop up at the same time. This only started happening about an hour ago, and I have no idea why this is happening. However, around two weeks ago, when I opened my computer and started Firefox, it started taking me to the tabs I had opened before turning my computer off instead of to the home page which it usually does. I am not sure whether this has anything to do with the tabs popping up or not.

Reproducible: Couldn't Reproduce

1.Sorry, all I did was open my Firefox browser. Don't know what else happened!

This can happen if you have selected the setting 'show tabs from last time' (Tools->Options->General). Or if you have an error you close Firefox (shutting down the computer when Firefox is still open can do that).

Reporter, are you still seeing this issue with Firefox 3.6.12 or later in safe mode? If not, please close. These links can help you in your testing.

Also, please consider using the most recent Firefox 4 beta build, your bug may be resolved there.

Hi, reporter here. No, it appears with the new versions the problem is gone. Thank you very much!
