While using linux I am getting the following message - "Your last session closed unexpectedly. You can restore the tabs and windows from the previous session, or start a new session if you think the problem was related to a page you were viewing". When I select either "Start new session" or "Restore session" Firefox does not start and I have no access to the internet.

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.

Make sure that you close Firefox properly.
