1739906 - Second window is forgotten by autoopen at Ubuntu 18.04 login after have used firefox on another support (android, ios), same FF account

Status: UNCONFIRMED

(Core :: Widget: Gtk, defect, P3)

Description

[[e-mail]]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:94.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/94.0

Steps to reproduce:

• 2 FF windows open (10+ tabs open in each, various sites), using FF account
• shut down ubuntu 18.04.6 LTS server
• use FF on an android or ios device (ipad) device, same FF account.
• Boot 18.04.6 LTS server, wait for FF windows to auto open

Actual results:

Only the first window has opened. The second window has disappeared with no history.

• Infrequent alternate result: a varied number of FF windows open (I've counted up to 20) from an unknown historical past time frame but never with the second missing window.

Expected results:

Both FF windows from the previous Ubuntu 18.04.6 LTS server session should be displayed with all previously opened tabs

Hey Bob,
I tried reproducing this issue using your exact steps on the latest versions of Firefox Nightly 96.0a1 (2021-11-09), beta 95.0v4 and release 94.0.1 on Ubuntu 20.04 but after restarting the pc it opens both windows with the exact tabs where I left them.

Can you test the issue while in Safe Mode? You can find helpful info here : https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode .
Also a fresh new profile could help. You can find more about creating a new profile here : https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-and-diagnose-firefox-problems#w_6-create-a-new-firefox-profile .
If possible, you can test this issue on the nightly build as well. Download the build from : https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/nightly/all/ .
