Firefox version 3.6.13. Windows XP SP2. If I quit firefox and restart then select restore session, I get the 'well this is embarassing.....' message. I select restore session and it displays all windows again except one. The one it won't display is listed in the windows xp task bar, but when I click on it nothing happens. If I right click on it and select close, then it will close. This has happened several times now.

This can be a problem with the file sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Profile Folder

Delete sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the 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.
