How do you shut down Ff?  That page makes it seem as though it's not
closing cleanly.



Turns out you are not to use the close button like every other program ever uses but go to the file menu and quit - or set an option in about:config. Seems to be a real bug when more than one tab open!

I'm slightly confused over your reported behaviour.

I've used constantly FF since v1 (Linux and Windows) and always use numerous instances with numerous tabs and practically always use the "close" button to shut the windows down. I never see that error page (well, for practical purposes. I do see it when I screw up elsewhere - type reboot from the cli for example).

I expect you have something else happening to cause the problem, it's not vanilla FF that's at fault - a plugin perhaps? Or access rights issues or corruption somewhere in your ~/.mozilla directory that's preventing the tab history from being saved?
