A Web site has captured Firefox my husband; It can not be closed except by restarting the PC. Subsequent restart Firefox going to the same place. Help!

The site claims to be a Fox News survey. The full URL exceeds the URL window. The site contains Firefox - it cannot be closed, and no command of Firefox does. The Firefox window can not be killed by the Task Manager. I can't erase the cache or history of Firefox because it is already possessed by the demon. (Note: my husband is blind, and his screen reader - JAWS - can not handle this bizarre behavior, so I'm involved.) He has no idea how he came in first in this situation.) Note: It is currently running Windows 7 (64-bit), and I think that the latest version of Firefox - it updates automatically. My next idea is to uninstall and reinstall Firefox. That will kill the cache? (a little) bookmarks? (bad!)

Delete the sessionstore.js file possible sessionstore-# .js files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox profile folder.

Note that deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and tab groups and open and closed (back) tablets to get lost, so you have to create them again.

You can set the integer pref browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes to 0 on the subject: config page in order to get the about: sessionrestore page immediately with the first reboot after a failure has occurred or the Task Manager was used for the closing of Firefox.

This way to see if a series of sessions has crashed or otherwise did not close correctly and deselects the tabs that you do not want to reopen, but will reopen the other tabs.
