I run Firefox 3.6.12 on Win 7 HP. When Firefox runs it automatically opens many, many tabs. Why?

I just had to reinstall Win 7 Home Premium (64-bit) because I switched the motherboard in my computer. When I finished with the OS, I downloaded and installed Firefox 3.6.12. When it ran, it opened many, many tabs. I've never seen that before. It is disconcerting. What gives?

When I upgraded Firefox on another client computer to 3.6.12 on Vista Home Premium (64-bit) I did not get the profusion of open tabs.

This can be a problem with the file sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak 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 to prevent Firefox from restoring a previous session.

See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Session_Restore

You may also need to reset all the preferences:
