No matter what I do I can't permanently delete tabs. I will close them all and the next time I open Firefox they are still there.

See:

It is also possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.

Delete the files sessionstore.js 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 to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note).

Did as suggested, same problem. Getting worse, computer locks up for a time as each tab loads.

If I can't get this resolved I'll have to quit using Firefox.

I don't have the time time to waste working on this problem.
