Box appears on my screen. It says: Quit Firefox? Then it asks: Do you want Firefox to save your tabs and windows for the next time it starts? Under that line are 3 options: SAVE AND QUIT, QUIT, CANCEL. Why is this happening and how can it be fixed? Thank you.

What or how do you want this fixed? That pop-up has a check box to not ask again if you do not want to see that warning.

THIS DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM....I'VE CHECKED THE "DO NOT ASK AGAIN" BOX, CLICKED ON THE RED X TO CLOSE THE PAGE AND IT POPS UP AGAIN UNCHECKED AND I STILL CANNOT CLICK ON THE "BACK" ARROW TO RETURN TO A PREVIOUS PAGE OR DO ANYTHING ELSE....__

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).

See Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems and Troubleshoot issues with plugins like Flash or Java to fix common Firefox problems


Do you get the Save & Quit pop-up dialog or the dialog that you are closing X tabs? You get the latter if there are still other windows open.
