Why on opening a new window in Fire Fox 4.01 do 14 windows open?
I just had my first crash on Firefox 4.01, VERY surprised it has not happened before, this version IS pretty dire!
However, after this I was asked to re-start Fire Fox and it would try to open my open folders/tabs. And so it did do JUST that. Except as usual (Well not actually as usual as it normally only opens 9 windows!) it opened multiple windows in Fire Fox. Only this time it opened not one or two or the usual 9 windows but 14!! YES 14 windows to allow me to get the MAXIMUM browsing experience no doubt?
IT WORKS!! OK! It works! With 14 windows open I can do all I wish to......but then again I never have two open at once? In fact If do open open two windows I a unable to close the second example! Just another annoying little twist from yours truly the new and NOT working Fire Fox 4.01!! WHY did you fix it if it was not broken??

MANY thanks for the reply but NO pipes and this is ONLY happening since I upgraded (LOL) to 4.01.
The other pages are simply BLANK pages and have no address or anything on them. Not my home page (google.co.uk) or anything else. No address nothing.

The places.sqlite file may be corrupted or locked. See: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locked_or_damaged_places.sqlite
Mmm, I'll have a look at that article later. I do have or have had problems with the sqlite folder/s since I moved to this new PC from an old one and the sqlite did not move over from the previous setup and I can't now find it either?? So that could be the problem. Have to excuse me for a while got a few things to do (Sunday stuff!)

It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Profile Folder
Delete the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
- Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
- http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
- http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js
If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well.
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note).

@ Cor-el, Hi long time no speak! Hope you are well. Will have a look later as it's raining here today in France! So NO work for me today outside eh??
@ Xircal, I did have a look at that and could see nothing which related to me to be truthful. But still plugging away!
But THANK you to the both of you, as always VERY grateful for your input you can be sure of that.
