I have it set to google.co.uk.  I also have it so it reloads last used tabs.  The page that had the pdf is no longer selected, The pdf is the manual for Okular for KDE

Chances are the download "tab" is still being restored....check the contents of sessionstore.js in your Firefox profile folder

I think youare correct, the download tab seems to be the problem.  I couldn't open the sessionstore.js file for some reason.  However I deleted the file and that has cured the problem

Thanks
