User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:109.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/115.0
Steps to reproduce:
In policies.json, I set StartPage to previous-session in the HomePage-section.
After logging in to any website that normally logs you out after exiting the browser, closing the browser and open it again, I was still logged in. I tested it on gmx.net.
Tested in Firefox ESR 115.12.0esr (64-Bit) on Linux.
The section in policies.json:
"Homepage": {
"Locked": false,
"StartPage": "previous-session"
},
Actual results:
I logged into a website, that normally logs me out when exiting the browser. In this case I tested it on gmx.net.
After exiting and re-openig the browser I still was logged in.
This problem doesn't occur when selecting the corresponding checkbox in firefox settings.
Expected results:
I should have to log in again, my session should be gone.

I have to correct myself:
The problem occurs after selecting the corresponding checkbox in firefox settings too!

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

Reproduced this issue with Firefox 115.12.0esr and Firefox 129.0b6, if the developers decide that, what the reporter expected is correct, it can be an enhancement. I will set this to enhancement request as "NEW" to allow the engineering team to consider whether they will implement the suggested change or not.

Thanks for filing the bug. This is actually the intended behavior of session restore. Your tabs, their history and the session cookies associated with those sites are restored.
