215026 - Mozilla will not remember tabbed session

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 159357

(SeaMonkey :: Tabbed Browser, defect)

Description

[Gregory S Hayes]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030702
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030702

On startup I have mozilla set to display "last page" (I assume this would
indicate the last page I was browsing before I closed the window). Mozilla just
starts with a blank page and no open tabs :( If this is the expected behavior, I
would request a session management feature that remembers open tabs.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open several tabs
2. Edit->Pref.->Navigator->Display on Navigator Startup = Last Page
3. Close window
4. Start Mozilla
5. Examin blank page

Actual Results:  
No tabs and a blank page

Expected Results:  
opened all the tabs I had open last time to their location before exiting mozilla

You seem to be asking for two different things.  If you want Mozilla to display
*every* tab that was open when you last closed the browser, then this is a
duplicate of bug 159357.  ("Last page visited" is working correctly by only
taking you back to ONE page rather than multiple tabs.)

However, if you're saying that you expect to get a *single* page (tab) going to
the same site as the last viewed site (in whatever tab was currently focused)
and that it's blank instead, then that is a valid bug.  However, the summary and
description of this bug will need to be changed to reflect that fact that it's
only about a *single* tab.

Also, this should not belong in Tabbed Browser but something like History:
Global or Preferences instead.
