1750508 - firefox opens with about:sessionrestore - although it is turned of

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1749996

(Firefox :: Session Restore, defect)

Description

[klaus.riech]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:96.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/96.0

Steps to reproduce:

Start firefox
(with "session restore" disabled in options)

Actual results:

Firefox starts with page: about:sessionrestore
and shows "Sorry. We are having trouble getting your pages back."

This happens only in 50% of all times - so not every time!
The other times firefox starts "normally" showing (in my case) the firefox search bar.

Expected results:

Firefox should not try to restore the tabs from the last session if this feature is turned off in the options.
If I turn it on, firefox restores all tabs from previous session properly!

In order to fix this I completely uninstalled firefox, deleted all profiles (!) and reinstalled firefox again.
