I have set the option that on star-up Firefox should display my homepage (Google). Instead it tries to load in my last viewed page, then shows the 'Well this is embarrassing' message as 'Firefox is having trouble recovering your windows and tabs. '

Try disabling the "resume from crash" option.

  1. Type about:config into the locaiton bar and press enter
  2. Accept the warning message that appears, this will take you to a list of preferences
  3. In the filter box type crash
  4. Double-click on the preference browser.sessionstore.resume_from_crash to change its value to false

If you are always getting this message, it indicates Firefox may be crashing when you close it, this may be caused by a problematic add-on, for help twith that see Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems and Troubleshoot Firefox crashes (closing or quitting unexpectedly).
