Firefox starts in Session Restore mode (Xfce 4.10)
 
I'm running:
Slackware64 14.2 (latest updates), Firefox 45.9 ESR, Xfce 4.10

Every time I start Firefox from Application Menu or from Panel in the bottom, it starts as if it was crashed the last time. But if I start using command line or from sub-menu (Internet) it starts normally.

I've created a new profile, uninstall/reintall, created a new user account ...nothing helped.

Any ideas.

Thanks

Take a look at the shortcuts in the app menu and the panel. Are there any switches appended to the name of the executable?
