Hope you find a fix to your problem.
I think the OP's description is a bit overdramatic. It sounds like Firefox was updated, and it prompted for a restart. It happens to me on occasion when I update with the browser open. When Firefox restarts, it reopens the previous tabs. I find the prompt for a restart to be useful. What I've found in the past is, Firefox updates, it did not prompt, and then website logins stopped working. I'd rather get the prompt and avoid the unexpected website problems. Jeff
