Error

Web browser 3.5 Just restarted my laptop.
Opened the browser and this message came up.

Well this is embarrassing.
Firefox is having trouble recovering your windows and tabs. This is usually caused by a recently opened web page.

it gives you the option to restart session or to start new session... I didn't click anything because i wasn't sure it was safe... so i clicked to my home page.

I guess my question is if it's really from firefox.. or a hacker or something...

Its from Firefox, and means that when you closed the browser, it crashed on close. When you restarted it gave you the option to 'restore' the session, or start a new one.

How do you close the browser ? Some tips:
1. don't let windows close the browser when shutting down your PC< close Firefox manually
2. don't close Firefox with java apps running, or flash vids playing ( this delays shutdown leading to possible crashes)
3. don't close the browser with the TaskManager (unless your truly hung and have not other option).

It takes Firefox a couple of seconds to fully close, and if you have been using it for an extended time it may take longer. This is normal, as its saving any bookmark updates, your session if the option is set, and may be clearing your session if you have it set to clean out everything on close.
