Sometimes, however, an app freezes but doesn’t quit.

When an application crashes a second time after you relaunch it, OS X asks if you want to reopen its windows. (If it continues to crash, follow the steps below, beginning with “Restart.”) Either way, as long as the app functions correctly from then on, you can go about your business. I suggest clicking Don’t Reopen, on the theory that something in one of the open windows may have caused the crash. Skip reopening windows: If the app crashes again after you relaunch it, you’ll see a message asking whether you want to reopen the windows that were open the last time. If you change your preferences to prevent crash reports being sent to Apple automatically, a dialog box like this appears when an app crashes.
