when i open firefox, it hangs, the weblink on top says about:sessionrestore? I tried uninstalling and re-installing the program, but still the same problem.

This can be a problem with the file sessionstore.js 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 .
