FF4 with add-on 'Fast Dial' always restores session despite setting 'open with blank page'

Since FF4, it always restores the session despite setting 'open with blank page'. So it opens the tabs and windows I had open when I closed FF. This was not the case with FF3.6.

I have the add-on Fast Dial set to show fast dial thumbnails on a blank page. So the desired (and former in FF3.6) behaviour was that FF opens with a blank page with the Fast Dial thumbs in it.

Only when I have chosen to restore the session at exiting FF, it should restore the tabs and windows as previously.

I tried to unset and set the setting 'at startup show a blank page' as follows: I set FF to 'show my windows and tabs from last time', closed FF, restarted FF and set the setting back to 'show a blank page'. This did't help.

When I disable Fast Dial, FF opens as expected. When I again enable Fast Dial, this did seem to have resolved the issue on a W7 machine, but not an a Windows XP machine.

Did you check that Firefox closes properly?

See "Hang at exit":
