Using FF 30.0 with Windows 7. This trouble started some weeks ago. It does not always happen, but I can not pin down if it follows sleep, total off, or what.

You can check for problems with the sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak files in the Firefox profile folder that store session data.

  • Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)

Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost and you will have to recreate them (make a note or bookmark them if possible).
