I have a minor question, currently when having a few tabs on, and while reading various things, while done with one page I oftenly close my tabs and do something else; but some of my tabs are left. Now comes the thing, I close and it warns me about closing my "multiple" tabs, I save and close firefox. Later on I open "BAM" it loads up all tabs I have used for that time, tabs I already done and such, it can be like 90 tabs opening. I don't want this how do I solve this? I mean last time I closed only had up 4 tabs. Is there no option to set only "running" tabs to be restored when firefox is closed?

Thanks in advance !

This can be a problem with the file sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Profile Folder

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.

Thanks, cor-el for replying, I am afraid it did not help, you see my problem doesn't lay in the closing part. I can make a more detailed explanation on my "problem". You see when I have many tabs open under a period of using Firefox 4 RC, while using some I close normally the ones I don't use just pressing the x button on the tab, it closes but here comes the spooky thing. When going to tab groups, it says the tab is still alive and I can't close it there... So restarting firefox will by instant get me all of those tabs I don't want to have opened and those that I want opened. Now the problem doesn't appear, if I do like this... Open tabs I want, open tabs I will only look for a sec, go into tab groups "close" them there. Restart Firefox, they will not come. SO I am wondering is there any bug with closing normally the tabs I could send pictures of what happens....
