Can you please specify the URL which was not able to be restored (please replace any oauth token strings with XXXX)? Thanks.

hi Rodney,

i think (but am not completely sure, for i closed the tab to test) the url was:

https://ubuntuone.com/oauth/authorize/?oauth_token=xxxxxxxxx&description=ubuntu

This has nothing to do with Ubuntu one, as it happened several other times to me without having the Ubuntu one page opened. looks like a Firefox bug. It asks me to close a tab that might cause the problem, but if i decide to not close any tab, and click restore, the tabs open just fine.

I have 'This is embarrassing' as noted above. When I try to install the latest updates via Update Manager I get the response that the files are already installed. When I try to run Firefox I'm told it's already running. I cannot run Firefox or remove the restore tabs function. I have to use a different browser such as Epiphany or Windows Explorer. How can I get Firefox running again?
