This is the SeaMonkey version of bug 664672.

When closing a tab, we should disconnect it from its linked browser, reducing the chances of a leak. Conveniently when we restore a tab we already reconnect it to its browser, even though we never disconnected it...

Bonus Points for porting the test as well.

The scope of this bug has changed somewhat, since we now restore the original tab element when we undo close the tab, so we now need to break the link when the tab is closed for real, either because undo close tab is disabled or because the undo stack has overflowed. Any test port has to take that into account of course; the boring way is to only check the disabled undo close tab case.

Hi, I am new to the community and would like to fix this bug. Please help me fix it

javarep4199 did you build or run SeaMonkey already? The bug is quite old and I think a this point in time sessionrestore and the tab browser probably needs a sledge hammer. If you want to work on SeaMonkey send me an email and I will look for a few others to fix.
