Should I "restore previous session" when that one was a viral link which emptied my computer email files?; if not how do a delete that message?
I just opened a link in an email message. It, in turn opened another. I suspected a virus, and did a virus scan. Now when I try to re-open my computer's email program it asks me to create a new account with a new password. I suspect all my email files are lost. And when I open Firefox it asks if I want to "restore previous session", but that one could be the viral link. How do I delete the "restore... message?

You should be able to decline the option to restore the tabs from your previous session and just start a new session. If you don't see that option, force quit Firefox and start it again. Usually after the second "crash" (real or simulated), Firefox lists the previous session tabs and you can uncheck the ones you don't want.
Still no tabs appear. But when I sign in using "Google" on my navigation bar, rather than entering from my desktop Firefox alias I don't get the "restore" message!
Set the pref browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes to 0 on the about:config page to get the about:sessionrestore page immediately with the first restart after a crash has occurred or the Task Manager was used to close Firefox.
That will allow you to deselect the tab(s) that you do not want to reopen, but will allow to reopen other tabs.

You can also delete the file sessionstore.js in the Firefox Profile Folder to prevent a session from getting restored, but that will also remove the App Tabs and Tab Groups that are stored in the same file.
