Firefox is configured to reopen last tabs and they go to an attack website, how do I fix the problem without reopening the attack website? I want to preserve my settings. I uninstalled Mozilla Firefox and Deleted the windows folder. If I reinstall Mozilla it will still come up to the last tabs opened.

hi NatteringNeyBobs, is the actual problem that you cannot leave the attack site? if so, please try this: press ctrl+shift+K in order to open the firefox web console, and click on the settings icon on the top right. in this panel scroll down and tick the option to "disable javascript", which in turn should make it possible to leave the malicious page immediately...
Firefox will automatically try to restore the tabs and windows from the last session if a crash has occurred or Firefox didn't close properly the previous time. If the session crashes another time then you will get the "Well this is embarrassing" page (about:sessionrestore) the next time you start Firefox. You can set the browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes pref to 0 on the about:config page to get the about:sessionrestore page immediately with the first start after a crash has occurred or the Task Manager was used to close Firefox.
That way you see if the previous session didn't close properly or crashed and will allow you to deselect the tab(s) that you do not want to reopen, but will allow to reopen other tabs.
