Firefox used to ask me if I wanted to restore my previous tabs after a forced shutdown, now it just tries to restore them without asking, and I DO NOT want them restored, is there a setting I am overlooking?

When I run into a suspicious or malicious website, I often have to force a shutdown of firefox. When I restart firefox, it automatically tries to reload the malicious page. I do not want it to try to open that page. I liked it the old way when it asked me if it should restore tabs, or start new session. I can't find a setting that will give me that option again.

Set the pref browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes to 0 on the about:config page to get the about:sessionrestore page immediately with the first restart after a crash has occurred or the Task Manager was used to close Firefox.
