Session restore at startup

After a ubuntu 12.04 upgrade, which upgraded firefox to version 39.0, I always get a "session restore" at startup, and usually I have to start firefox twice (i.e. the first time nothing happens). If that's relevant, I am using NoScript and I selected to have my cookies stored until I close firefox.

The problem is unlikely to be related to the Firefox Upgrade. I have Fx39 on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and am not seeing problems.

Having to start twice is likely to be related.

  1. Try in Firefox's safe mode and with all plugins disabled by setting to never activate
  2. If that did not help: Repeat but test in a new additional Firefox profile

How important your open tabs are and how many of them will affect the next steps if the new profile opens correctly, because that will not have the open tabs in it from the old profile.
