1738661 - Restore tabs doesn't work on MAC.

Status: NEW

(Firefox :: Session Restore, defect)

Description

[dishantpandya777]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.15; rv:93.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/93.0

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open Firefox
2. Open few tabs
3. Close Firefox
4. Reopen Firefox
   And you see, it opens freshly with no previously opened tabs. (Even though I kept in settings, Restore All Tabs when you restart / reopen Firefox.)

This thing happens only in new MacBook M1 Pro. It never happened with Windows Laptop / PC.

Actual results:

No opened Tab / Already running session is restored when I reopen Firefox.

Expected results:

All the opened tabs in the previous session should be restored back when I open Firefox.

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Firefox::Session Restore' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please revert this change in case you think the bot is wrong.

Hi,

I wasn't able to reproduce the issue.

Could you create a new profile, make sure to check "Open previous windows and tabs" and check again? (you won't lose your old profile)

Here is a link that can help you with that:

Thanks!

Hi there,

I created a new profile.

Opened few tabs... then Quit Firefox. (Of course, the restore tab option was "ON")

I found the same issue is still there.

I am on Latest M1 Pro - Macbook (with SiliconChip) and Monterey OS.

And can see this bug can be reproduced everytime.

The arquitecture of my device is INTEL and when I open Firefox, the program seems to try to restore the session, because it opens a couple of new windows, but only with the new tab homescreen.
