Exception Breakpoint on shutdown pc; must force quit, then restore all tabs on next session
On shutdown, after using firefox, my PC displays error message '...Exception Brekpoint has been reached (0x80000003) occurred in the application at location 0x5b42fe99'.
When I force quit and shut down computer, all is fine.
When I reopen firefox on my next session, I get the 'oops - something went wrong' screen and must reload all tabs.
This is occurring on both my windows 7 pc, and windows 10 laptop.
Any idea what this could be about?

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode} by holding down the <Shift> key (Mac = Options key), and then starting Firefox.
A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?

Linux: Check your user manual. If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it. See Install Firefox on Linux; https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/install-firefox-linux
If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the Firefox download page, simply remove the folder Firefox in your home directory. http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Do Not remove the profiles folder.
Look for, and rename any Mozilla or Firefox program folders by adding .old to them. Do not rename the Mozilla Thunderbird folder if there is one.
After rebooting the computer, run a registry scanner if you have one. Then run the installer. If all goes well, remove the OLD folders when you are done. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ If there is a problem, start your Computer in safe mode and try again.
