When Firefox Crashes or closes improperly I am unable to use Session Restore. When Starting Firefox after the crash it says Invalid URL. So I never even get to the session restore page. Right now it just happened and after the Invalid URL it goes to a blank page. On the tab it says about:sessionrestore but its blank and the page says nothing.

Hi,

The issue has been resolved in Firefox 10 which is due for release in the next few days. Alternatively you can try the Firefox 10 beta: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/channel/

To resolve this in Firefox 9, you may have to install Visual C++ 2005 SP1 or a relevant .Net Framework (see comment 33 @ https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=713167 )

Thanks, I will wait for Firefox 10. I really didn't like this last firefox update/version. Wish they would bring back the version of firefox that looked much cleaner. I also don't like the forward, back, refresh button placement and other things.

Thank you for your reply

You can undo a lot of changes in the user interface and get the appearance of Firefox 3 versions.

Firefox 4 and later use a combined Stop/Reload/Go button that is positioned at the right end of the location bar.
During the page load process it shows as a Stop button and after the loading has finished the button is changed to a Reload button.
If you type in the location bar then that button becomes a Go button.
Middle-click the Reload button to duplicate the current tab to a new tab.

To move the Stop and Reload buttons to their position to the left of the location bar you can use these steps:

  • Open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize"
  • If the menu bar is hidden on Windows or Linux use "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout"
  • Drag the Reload and Stop buttons to their previous position to the left of the location bar.
  • Set the order to "Reload - Stop" to get a combined "Reload/Stop" button.
  • Set the order to "Stop - Reload" or separate them otherwise (Space or Separator) to get two distinct buttons.
