1113497 - Tabs and windows don't get restored after restart

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: Session Restore, defect)

Description

Attachment: prefs.js

A few days ago my Firefox suddenly lost it's session. Since then the session is never restored anymore while I always had the option 'Show my windows and tabs from last time' selected.

I attached my (anonymized) prefs.js.

I just realized that not only the windows and tabs restoring is affected but also I cannot open the DevTools or Firebug anymore, nor the 'Customize Firefox' page.

It looks like the ADB Helper extension is involved, as deaktivating it fixes the problems noted above.

Normally, Session Restore saves its data as several files: sessionstore.js (the main one), and a host of backups in sessionstore-backups/. Can you check whether these files are visibly corrupted?

With the 0.7.3 version of ADB Helper this bug seems to be fixed and my profile is restored normally. I guess the related patch is https://github.com/mozilla/adbhelper/commit/328e63f7715c9b8c920dc8bb52eea6237a699743.

Therefore I close this bug now.
