Firefox just did an update. Now to 7.0 and EVERY time I open Firefox, it opens with 15 tabs all regarding add ons and it also added a bunch of tool bars that I DO NOT want. I've figured out how to take care of the tool bar situation but cannot stop Firefox from opening with all the tabs. If this cannot be resolved, I am ready to go back to IE or another browser. I love Firefox so please help. Thanks

Check the home page setting:


It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.

Delete the files sessionstore.js [2] and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.

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 and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).
