Why does Firefox randomly close my tabs after I close FF?

I have double checked to see if I told Firefox to clear history or to close tabs after I have closed the app, and have not been able to find anything that I may have tapped. Thus is this a new error or did I actually press something and have not found it?? What is even more frustrating is that not only does it only do this after closing, but also randomly. Randomly?? Yes, randomly.

You may be forced to close Firefox if it is repeatedly opening multiple tabs or windows. Firefox includes a Session Restore feature that can restore your windows movie maker free download and tabs from the previous session after a crash or unexpected close.

The same multiple tabs or windows may start opening when you next start Firefox, forcing you to close Firefox again. If you see a Restore Session ("Sorry. We're having trouble getting your pages back.") page when you restart Firefox, click the Start New Session button to start a new session and then follow the instructions given below to fix the problem.
