Can't Stop Firefox from Reloading Crashed Session
The problem is that even after I've tinkered with the about:config settings to prevent Firefox from restoring my previous session after a crash, it just won't listen! The changes I make in about:config don't seem to save, and every time Firefox crashes, it happily reloads my old tabs and windows.
Your assistance would be greatly appreciated!

You can avoid it by closing Firefox before shutting down your system. Otherwise you will need to put the following in user.js file in your profile folder:
user_pref("browser.sessionstore.resume_session_once", false);

Firefox does not experience crashes; rather, when I shut down my system and subsequently restart it, Firefox automatically restores my previous session.
