I am getting the "restore to previous session" box every time that I now start my Firefox browser get onto the internet. This is on my laptop. Why do I get this box on my start page. Is there a special method of signing off with the browser? This has been happening for several weeks.

That is a new feature that started with Firefox 4.0, with the about:home homepage which was also new in Firefox 4.0. The previous session is saved automatically, unlike earlier versions.

If you don't like seeing Restore Previous Session, change your homepage to a different web page.
