I have been having trouble recently with my version of firefox, it worked fine up until just a little while ago. it started crashing frequently and randomly no matter what page I was on. then, it started refusing to recover my tabs after it had crashed or otherwise

what could be the problem?

Here is the crash signature [@F1675532825'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' ]

And the first crashing thread is NPSWF32.dll__ which means your flash is old. I see that you have version 10.0.r45 which has several, unpatched holes in that version.

You can check if your settings are correct by going to Firefox does not ask to save tabs and windows on exit
