Why do I get messages that say I did not clse tabs; I ususally click the red dot; why do I get this error message?
In the past I could navigate from one site to another without closing a tab. Now messages appear that say I did not close a tab and need to close or restore. I tried closing tabs as I used them but my tab bar does not show open tabs when I close out of Firefox. When I restart Firefox I get these messages that say I did not close the tabs! This is very annoying. How can I put it back so when I click the red dot, It's closed. and when I restart Firefox it just goes to my home page? I am using a Mac 10.6.8

no, there won't be any immediate problems with this setting when the bug is getting fixed. the problem essentially is that firefox 20 mistakenly classifies this way of closing the browser as a crash & will launch the session restore feature at the next launch of the browser. the key in about:config mentioned above will totally switch off the sessionrestore feature for crashes.
once the bug will be resolved in firefox 21, i'd recommend resetting browser.sessionstore.resume_from_crash back to its default value "true" though, so that you get the benefit of a restored session in case firefox is really crashing sometime.

hello jerrydav, this is currently a problem in firefox when you first close all open firefox windows and then close the application afterwards - the bug should be addressed in a later version of firefox.
as a workaround in the meanwhile you could close firefox (through firefox > quit) while the browser window is still running or try this: enter about:config into the firefox location bar (confirm the info message in case it shows up) & search for the preference named browser.sessionstore.resume_from_crash. double-click it and change its value to false.
The fix seemed to solve the problem. When the bug is fixed at a later update, will I experience any problems?
Te fix seemed to work. When the bug is fixed, will I experience any future problems
