I have the same problem on Debian, where, if I leave Firefox open when I shutdown, when I reboot, I get this warning message saying "what do you want to do". After some time in Firefox's about:config, and also on the site at mozillazine.org, I found this. http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser.startup.page This has fixed the problem for me. Now when I shutdown with Firefox open, and displaying a webpage, I reboot, and Firefox restores the session, still displaying the webpage that was there when I shutdown, but now with no message box. The procedure: Go to about:config in Firefox. Scroll down a bit to browser.sessionstore.resume_from_crash Double click on it, to change it from true to false. 5 lines down at, browser.startup.page, double click again, and enter 2 in the dialog box that appears. That appears to fix the problem. Logged out, and back in, and Firefox is there with the previous webpage showing. Shutdown, then rebooted. Same thing. I havn't done a hard reset, or unplugged the machine to simulate a power out to see if FF still comes back ok though. At least it gets rid of that message box every time I boot up. Nigel. btw. Earlier versions of FF appeared to be using this. http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser.sessionstore.resume_session
