1015753 - Session restore after crash does not work in 29.0.1 and Windows Vista

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox :: Session Restore, defect)

Description

[rene.thol]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.0; rv:29.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/29.0 (Beta/Release)
Build ID: 20140506152807

Steps to reproduce:

Restarting Firefox either after crash or after normal closure via menu entry (File menu, Quit option).


Actual results:

After crash of Firefox or after closing it normally (with activated restore functionality) and restarting it again Firefox does not restore anything. No tab and no additional window is restored.
Firefox just opens with an empty tab containing about:sessionrestore in its title/url field. Refreshing/Reloading this tab also does not help - it stays empty. Everything from previous usage is lost and has to be restored manually from chronicle.
Menu entries for previously opened tabs and windows are deactivated as if there have never been a tab or window opened.


Expected results:

Tabs and windows of previous session should get restored as they always did up to version 28!

I see the same problem with 29.0.1 on Fedora 20.

Andre, Rene,
Do you still see this problem?

the crash aspect sounds like bug 1028717.

No response from reporters, so closing incomplete (although it is potentially a duplicate)
