When will you fix the "Restore Session" bug?
When I open the Firefox application, I almost always get an error page that says:
"Well, this is embarrassing. Firefox is having trouble recovering your windows and tabs. This is usually caused by a recently opened web page. You can try:
Removing one or more tabs that you think may be causing the problem
Starting an entirely new browsing session"
Since before quitting Firefox I always go to "Tools —> Clear Recent History…" and have ALL the items checked when I click OK, there is no page to restore so Firefox shouldn't be having a problem. And yet…there's that window AGAIN!
This started after the last update you provided.

jmmell, just to answer your question a little further, it looks like that bug will be fixed in the Firefox 21 release. So, very soon!
If not, please let us know.
This is happening to me consistently right now in Firefox 24.0, new since the last update. Like the original poster, I like to clear my history before I exit. I also like to open a new tab and close the current tab to make sure that history gets cleared too.
Hi Urticator
Could you please start a new thread for your question instead of posting in an existing thread?
Then you can provide more information like your operating system and installed extensions and installed plugins.
Note that if you use "Clear history when Firefox closes" to clear the browsing history that you can't restore tabs from the previous session.
Sure, here it is. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/971986
