296549 - Add an option to restore all previous tabs on browser restart

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 159357

(Firefox :: Tabbed Browser, enhancement)

Description

[Paton Lewis]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; en) Opera 8.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0

Please add an option that allows the browser to remember what tabs you last had 
open and which re-opens them automatically when you restart the browser.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open multiple tabs.
2. Restart the browser.

Actual Results:  
The previously opened tabs are gone, and there is no option to allow me to 
change that behavior.

Expected Results:  
Provide an option that causes the browser during start-up to automatically re-
open all tabs that were previously opened when the browser was last closed.

Opera has this capability and this is the only feature that keeps me using Opera 
instead of Mozilla or Firefox. I suspect that this feature could help increase 
Mozilla and Firefox market share.

This is not a duplicate of 152391. Bug 152391 is an enhancement request for 
undoing tab closures, and this bug is an enhancement request for allowing the 
browser to retain all tabs between sessions. Opera has both of these features, 
and Mozilla has neither.
