I have only two add-ons enabled: FlashGot 1.5.6.12.1-signed and Greasemonkey 3.3,
but FF have not complained about them, just silently opened with all tabs empty.
And it was not just after its update: this happened on August 31 in the evening
and I did updated FF to version 38.2.0 on August 28. I definitely used FF on August 30
and in the morning of August 31 without the issue.

I am using only stable version of FF.
