I open Firefox, login to Netflix, click on my profile photo, click on the show/movie I wish to watch and then the browser just vanished on me. When I open the browser again...

"Well, this is embarrassing.

Firefox is having trouble recovering your windows and tabs. This is usually caused by a recently opened web page.

You can try:

   •Removing one or more tabs that you think may be causing the problem
   •Starting an entirely new browsing session"
