That's not a helpful page, that an "Oops, I crashed last time" page.  It 
says that firefox didn't shutdown normally.  Still, it happens often 
enough that I turned it off.  Here's how:

 1. Enter a URL of "about:config" and press enter.
 2. Accept responsibility for knowing what you're doing.
 3. In the Search box, enter "crash"
 4. Change the value of "browser.sessionstore.resume_from_crash" to false.
 5. Close the about:config tab.

That's it.

                                    -B.
