Firefox quits when closing the cover of my MacBook Pro (putting it to sleep)

Self-explanatory (see title). I have a mid-2010 MacBook Pro, running Mac OS X Lion (10.7.3). Whenever I close the lid to put the MacBook Pro to sleep, Firefox quits. I don't think it crashes or hangs; when I open the lid later, Firefox is just not running, and must be re-opened.

This is incredibly annoying, because I have to connect through a proxy server at work, and this results in me having to Restore Previous Session, re-authenticate, and then wait for 10-25 tabs (my To-Do list) to be reloaded. Agonizing. Help?

Hi,

When I look at your system details, it does have a crash ID on it (bp-0bffc60f-9713-426c-b7b3-214962120301), so you might find some help in the article about crashes, where it describes starting Firefox in safe mode and then seeing if the problem still happens: Troubleshoot Firefox crashes (closing or quitting unexpectedly)

Thanks, Michelle
