Firefox does not actually crash. I have frequent power surges and Firefox does not want to reopen after a power loss. Any suggestions?

Power outages are only a few seconds long as the power company switches providers. Happens once about every two weeks. If in a Firefox session, Firefox will not reopen for four to five minutes after the computer is restarted. When it opens, it does not return to the previous session with an error message that essentially states "Gee we're sorry and embarrassed". I am using Window's Vista with Firefox as my default we browser. Firefox is up to date with the latest version installed.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
* [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe Mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
