[SOLVED] How to make Firefox NOT to remember my tabs for next session?

Something strange is happening. It doesn't ask me on exit even if I check the corresponding option in about:config, but just closes, and after restart, reloads all the tabs.

Looks like it is crashing on exit.

What can it be?

Do you have any addons that might be overriding the options in about:config?

Possibly corrupt profile?

Addons: Adblock Plus, Firebug, Gmail Manager, Google Reader Watcher, Greasemonkey, Organize Status Bar, Stylish, Vacuum Places Improved, Xmarks.
I've used them on different computers, and everything was OK. I don't thinks that this is addons problem.

How can I check for corrupt profile?

That was really something with my profile. I have recreated profile, and now everything is working as it should.
However, this was not really nice solution, since I've lost all my history, remembered sessions and configuration.
But, anyway, it's OK now.

Try Febe:
backup extensions, bookmarks, history, configurations etc
create new profile
reimport

I had a corrupt profile a short while back and since the only thing I really cared about was my bookmarks, I just exported them, created a new profile and then imported them. Nicely, vimperator stores it's config in ~/.vimperatorrc in plain text so corruption is very unlikely and it's separate from all the other config.

You could try doing an integrity check on all your sqlite databases to see if that fixes it. I used to have a script that did this, but I can't find it. I'm sure you could find something with google.

Could it be Edit > Preferences > Main > When Shiretoko starts: > Show my windows and tabs from the last time?
