Firefox hangs on startup (even in safe-mode) and no sessionstore.js file to edit.
After a system restart due to Firefox seeming to act strangely, it hangs as soon as I open it. The tab says "Connecting..." but it eventually just stops responding.
Safe-mode doesn't work either, but private browsing is okay (which obviously I'd rather not use primarily.)
I had a few tabs open and I suspect one of them might be a pain for session restore to open, so I figured I would go try to snag it from the sessionstore.js but unfortunately I apparently don't have one.
I tried enabling the "ask before restoring tabs" feature but that didn't help either.

You could try to set Firefox to open a blank page on startup and see if that fixes the problem. Go to Tools -> Options, General tab, and set "When Firefox starts:" to "Show a blank page".
You can always switch it back to "Show my windows and tabs from last time" once the crashing is resolved.
If it turns out that a specific page was causing the crash, and you're willing to share the URL, please post it here. Thanks!

Edit: I used private browsing to change the settings to open a blank page on startup and it worked perfectly. Thank you so much! :)
Thanks for the quick reply!
Will changing that setting work from either private browsing or another profile? Because my default profile just freezes instantly, can't even get to options. :/
The URL I thought might be causing problems was http://brennadaugherty.tumblr.com/ ... I have no idea why it would. I also had http://brennahaspixels.tumblr.com/ open and since that has tons of little images on it that seems more likely but the problem started with that first URL.
I actually started a new profile and transferred everything else over to it and it works fine, but it would be nice to figure out what happened to the first. :/
