Status: NEW

(Firefox :: Session Restore, defect, P5)

Description

[u462496]

STR:

[1] Open scratchpad in browser context

[2] Paste and run the following code:

    var BLANK_SESSION = {windows: [{tabs: [{entries: [{url: "about:newtab"}]}]}]};
    var TEST_STATE = {
      windows: [
        {tabs: [
            {entries: [{url: "http://example.com/?examples1"}]},
        ],
        },
        {tabs: [
            {entries: [{url: "http://example.com/?examples2"}]},
        ],
        },
        {tabs: [
            {entries: [{url: "http://example.com/?examples3"}]},
        ],
        },
      ],
      selectedWindow: 1,
    };

    // Initialize:  
    SessionStore.setBrowserState(JSON.stringify(BLANK_SESSION));
    // Set state:
    SessionStore.setBrowserState(JSON.stringify(TEST_STATE));

Expected behavior:

The first window in the windows array should be the selected window, identified by containing the tab with the url http://example.com/?examples1.

The third window in the windows array is the selected window, identified by containing the tab with the url http://example.com/?examples3.

The last needinfo from me was triggered in error by recent activity on the bug. I'm clearing the needinfo since this is a very old bug and I don't know if it's still relevant.
