1077850 - The sub-menu "Recently closed windows" is greyed

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: Session Restore, defect)

Description

[Nicolas Barbulesco]

Firefox 32.0.3.

I have several windows. 
I open the History. 
I open a new window. I use it a bit, then I close it. 
I have the History, in the window (now) named Library. 
I unroll the menu History.

* Expected behaviour : * 

The sub-menu "Recently closed windows" can be unrolled, it contains the entries for the 3 last closed windows.

* Actual behaviour : * 

The sub-menu "Recently closed windows" is greyed.

Thank you for fixing this bug.

I'm seeing the same issue under Ubuntu 16.04 with stock Firefox (presently 48.0). Tried Firefox recovery mode where all add-ons are disabled but behavior was the same.

Does it happen also in a new profile?

Following the reporter's steps I am able to confirm that the issues doesn't happen anymore on MacOS 10.15 and Ubuntu 20.04 on any of the current versions of Firefox Nightly 87.0a1 (2021-02-18), beta 86.0 and release 85.0.2. The closed windows can be found under recently closed windows menu which is fully accessible.
