Firefox will not open at all, keep getting error message with last 2 saved web pages on it

Yesterday, I closed Firefox. I had multiple tabs opened, so it asked me if I wanted to save them. I clicked YES and closed Firefox. I had Google Docs open at the time.

Now, when I open up Firefox, everytime, it tries to load the 2 saved pages, then gives me an error message saying that Windows will try to find the solution to why it can't open.

I cannot use Firefox at all now.

How can I fix this?

I have re-installed Firefox completely and it does not work, it remembers my settings.

See Firefox won't start - find solutions for troubleshooting techniques.

Re-installing Firefox will often not fix problems as the problem is often with something in the profile folder which is not by default touched when you re-install Firefox.

I followed the advise in the Firefox will not start page. I created a new profile. Now I cannot figure out how to apply the new profile.

When I click on firefox, the generic version comes up, not my new saved profile.

How do I apply my new profile?

I am not sure if this will solve my problem, but even if I just get my bookmarks, I'll be fine to set it up again.

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

Delete the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak and any existing files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js .
