When I close a session I close all the tabs first then exit out. The next time on I get an error screen telling me everything didn't close right and asking me if I wanted to restore the old tabs or start a new session. I am not interested in restoring the old tabs as I want to start a new session. If the old tabs come up I have to close them out anyway. How do I by pass that error screen and just restart a new session automatically going to my home page without all the extra tabs and without being bothered about it? Never had this problem with the older versions. Maybe I should go back to the older versions and forget about any updates. But I don't know how to do that.

This can be a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Profile Folder

Delete sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Profile Folder

  • Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder

If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well.
