Firefox frequently freezes after my laptop sleeps or hibernates, and then doesn't try to remember tabs when the program is shut down.

Frequently after my computer comes out of sleep mode or hibernation with Firefox still running, I will try to input text (anywhere in the window) or push the volume buttons on my keyboard and it causes the program to not respond. The only option is to close and restart it, but it doesn't remember my tabs anymore, nor does it remember closing my tabs (when I look for them in the 'recently closed tabs' menu). Often this does not solve the problem, and I end up having to restart my computer for it to work again.

This can be a problem with Session Restore.
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Session_Restore

Delete the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak and any existing files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js.

cor-el, This file does not exist in the folder specified on the page you linked, even after I enabled viewing of hidden files and folders. Also, it's more of an issue that Firefox keeps crashing.
