When trying to open Firefox it trys to connect to restore the prevoius session (not responding) and will not start. I uninstalled then reinstalled and it is still stuck. I have to X the box and use the popup to close the noresponsive program
Firefox will not start. When I try to open it it gets stuck trying to restore the previous session. It shows "connecting" and the little round working cursor just spins. The program says (not responding) in the top. Please help me fix this, thanks

Delete the files sessionstore.js [2] and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox 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.
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

I seem to have this problem too, the thing is, its not about the session stored. Mine seem to have something to do with browser not being able to load enough images, and just freezes. Related? https://support.mozilla.com/sv-SE/questions/877758
This probelm was very frustrating and too difficult to fix. I changed browsers to Chrome, wow much faster and super easy to use. Sorry Firefox, you have been my fav. for may years., but it is time to move on.......delete program? yes. Are you sure? YES
