I do not want Firefox to automatically recover tabs when I restart the browser, after I have crashed the program (using "end process" because a site has hijacked the browser). I can not find where to shut this kind-of foolish default off.

This happened

Not sure how often

== When visiting sites that minimize browser and present a program window ("Your PC is infected!! Click OK to fix it!")

I think I found it in about:config:

browser.sessionstore.resume_from_crash;false

is this correct?

See http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.sessionstore.resume_from_crash --- Set the pref browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes to 0 on the about:config page to get the about:sessionrestore page immediately with the first restart after a crash has occurred or the Task Manager was used to close Firefox.

See: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Session_Restore#Preferences http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes
