FF3.5.6 is quite broken. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.go to pcpower.com 2.click + on "customer login" and wait for it to expand. 3.click in the expanded box: "register for an account" crash Actual Results: [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80520015 (NS_ERROR_FILE_ACCESS_DENIED) [nsISafeOutputStream.finish]" nsresult: "0x80520015 (NS_ERROR_FILE_ACCESS_DENIED)" location: "JS frame :: file:///C:/Program%20Files/Mozilla%20Firefox/components/nsSessionStore.js :: sss_writeFile :: line 2814" data: no] file:///C:/Program%20Files/Mozilla%20Firefox/components/nsSessionStore.js Line 2814 Expected Results: I expected to get some sort of registration form.
this is probably related to a security app (firewall, AV) blocking certain files (in your case session restore) used by Fx. please try to reproduce (extensionless) without such apps being active.

pcpower.com took down the login portion of their site, so this bug is not testable anymore. I cannot reproduce, so I guess it's fixed.
