Alright so I wanted to open 269 tabs at the same time on Firefox because I had just transferred my bookmarks to a new computer and the icons on the bookmarks were blank. Opening each of them I refresh took too long so I opened then all at once. The problem is that my laptop is a cheap 260 dollar refurbished laptop. I had really fast school Internet so I thought it wouldn't matter.

Anyway to sum it up I opened a lot of tabs on a weak computer and my laptop exploded. After i force shut the program, Every time I open Firefox it attempts to open all 269 tabs again. How can I "refresh" the tabs?

If nothing else is working a simple reinstall of firefox would do the trick and fix the issue I'd assume.

Press and hold shift while launching FF, you should be prompted to start in Safe Mode. Edit - preferences - General Tab - Startup - Change to show my home page or show a blank...
