problem using Firefox as my browser.

Here lately when I exit (close) Firefox, then boot it again I get a window that states that they are embarrased. Then they explain that the last use did not close out. Normally it indicates Window1 with the title of the last use below it.

It gives me two options, close or restart, if I do restart it does not fix it, but by using close it will close and go back to my home page.

Sometimes when I open Firefox, it opens up on the last web site I was on.

This problem started about two weeks ago, after Firefox updated software.

Any one have any suggestions?

Hi, I haven't seen this on Firefox yet, but I have other Apps that say "Unexpectedly Quit", after Quitting them myself! LOL

Something to try...

Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.

(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)

Yes, I have seen that problem as have others. As I recall, it started with Firefox 20.0.

One work-around is to Quit Firefox using the File menu with the Firefox window still open instead of first closing the Firefox window with the red window button.

For me it has been harmless, but a bit of an annoyance.
