1440408 - Some dynamic page state changes are not being restored

Status: NEW

(Firefox :: Session Restore, defect, P5)

Description

[Dietrich Ayala (:dietrich)]

60.0a1 (2018-02-22) (64-bit) Mac OS X

I hadn't noticed this in until recently, so possibly a regression?

STR:

1. open a bug on Bugzilla
2. click [follow] button
3. restart browser with session set to always restore

Expected: Bug shows followed

Actual: Bug still shows as unfollowed

Note: Reload page and shows as followed

You can do the same thing but with starring a Github repo.

I'm entirely unsure whether this a regression, so a bit more information would be great.

Reproduced the issue on the latest Nightly  62.0a1, Firefox Beta 61.0b6 and Firefox Release  60.0.1 on Windows 10. 

Using the STR provided by the reporter, as well as: “Undo closed tab” and “Restore previous session”, the issue can be also reproduced all the way back to Nightly 45.0a1.

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.
