User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040626 Firefox/0.9.1 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040626 Firefox/0.9.1 A KDE "Save session" for a session in which firefox is running will not result in firefox restarting when one logs in. The same applies when the KDE Session Manager is configured to "Restore previous session" / so-called session auto-save mode. In either case firefox does not restart after a subsequent login. If one configures the firefox launch icon to "Run in terminal" (a gross configuration that requires a launch of an empty terminal window in addition to the firefox window), KDE "Save Session" (and auto-save) will restart a single firefox session after login (with that gross extra empty terminal session), however it will NOT start a 2nd firefox window and the single firefox browser will not restore the previous URL and tab state. One can launch multiple firefox windows under KDE. One cannot save their state (URL and tab state) and recreate the KDE session in a subsequent login. KDE is able to save and restart multiple KDE konqueror browser windows with their current URLs and tab state saved. One cannot do this for firefox. I am using RHEL 3 with an up2date patched system and the current firefox browser version. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Firefox fails to restart a single browser from a manually saved session without a terminal window: 1.launch firefox from a KDE launch icon without "run in terminal" set 2.perform a "Save Session" when the KDE Component: Session Manager is in "Restore manually saved session" 3.logout 4.login Firefox fails to restart multiple browsers from a manually saved session without a terminal window: 1.launch 2 or more firefox browsers from a KDE launch icon without "run in terminal" set 2.perform a "Save Session" when the KDE Component: Session Manager is in "Restore manually saved session" 3.logout 4.login Firefox fails to restore a single browser from a manually saved session with a terminal window: 1.launch firefox from a KDE launch icon WITH "run in terminal" set 2.perform a "Save Session" when the KDE Component: Session Manager is in "Restore manually saved session" 3.logout 4.login Firefox fails to restart multiple browsers from a manually saved session with a terminal window: 1.launch 2 or more firefox browsers from a KDE launch icon WITH "run in terminal" set 2.perform a "Save Session" when the KDE Component: Session Manager is in "Restore manually saved session" 3.logout 4.login NOTE: Selecting the KDE Compenet Session Manager mode of "Restore previous session" (auto session save) does not change the firefox restart problem. Actual Results: Firefox fails to restart a single browser from a manually saved session without a terminal window: no firefox windows are started Firefox fails to restart multiple browsers from a manually saved session without a terminal window: no firefox windows are started Firefox fails to restore a single browser from a manually saved session with a terminal window: An empty window is started, however firefox does not restart with the previous URLs and tab state. Firefox fails to restart multiple browsers from a manually saved session with a terminal window: An empty window is started, however firefox does not restart with the previous URLs and tab state. No other firefox browsers are restated. Expected Results: In all cases all of the firefox browsers should restart in their exact window position in their exact virtual desktops with their saved URL and tab state restored.

Seamonkey can't do this either.

AFAIK this is a DUPlicate of bug 93789 ("Mozilla does not support the X11 session protocol") ... marking as such ... *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 93789 ***
