FF launches with three tabs -- same 3 each time. corrupt file?
Ive been developing webpages with MAMP and joomla, and one day firefox started launching with three tabs open -- one admin access page from a live site i was developing a while back, and an untitled tab.
also --- its taking quite a long time for FF to launch. it used to pop open, now it lags. Ive uninstalled and reinstalled FF three times, (kept bookmarks and settings though) and still cant get rid of the problem. and i just upgraded to OSX snow leopard too.
any thoughts? thanks... c

First make sure the sites are not stored as home pages, see how to set the home page.
Another possible cause is the file that stores details of sessions is corrupt. Open the profile folder, for details of how to access it see the profiles article. Now close Firefox and in the profile folder delete sessionstore.js plus if it exists sessionstore.bak
Hi Tony -- thanks for the reply. unfortunately, after erasing sessionstore.js (it was actually called sessionstore-1.js for some reason) i still have the same problem. i checked my hopepage settings, too.
any other ideas?? thanks....
As a test, try creating a new profile. Firefox stores user data in a profile folder, creating a new profile will show if the problem is with the old profile. For how to do that see managing profiles.
If the new profile works, you can copy selected data such as bookmarks and passwords to the new profile. For details see transferring data to a new profile. Do not copy the preferences file, and it is best to re-install any add-ons.
