Check the home page setting.


Try to delete the sessionstore.js file and possible sessionstore-##.js files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.

Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

So far, so good.... I checked my homepage and also deleted sessionstore.js, sessionstores 1 & 2, but there wasn't a sessionstore.bak. Hopefully this will solve the problem.

Unfortunately, this was not the answer. Still getting pop up.

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.

See "Creating a profile":

If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from an existing profile to the new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.
