This bug is not specific to bookmarked tabs(Bug 245588). I have session saver
(0.2) extension installed. So when resuming a session, the tabs after a missing
url does n't open.



Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
Steps to reproduce (assuming session saver to be installed).
1. Open a couple of pages on the web in tabs.
2. Open a local file.
3. Again open a couple of pages from the web in tabs.
4. Close firefox.
5. Restart firefox.
Actual Results:  
1. Firefox loads all tabs upto the missing file.
2. Throws an error mesg regarding the missing file.
3. Stops loading tabs.


Expected Results:  
1. Firefox loads all tabs, throwing a single consolidated error mesg for all the
missing resources.



1. I think this bug may be also be reproducible with a web url that goes missing
among sessions.

Hey! This has not got anything to do with the extension.
This bug can also be produced by the extension.

Please see Bug 245588 , which describes the same bug produced with the help of
the Bookmark tabs feature which is built into firefox.

I am sorry if I had not been clear.

confirmed with latest trunk build

Forget the extension. It is not needed to reproduce this bug.  I imagine the
extension will work properly once the bug here is fixed

simple steps to reproduce:
-open a web page
-open a new tab and load a local file in that tab
-open a another web page to a third tab
-bookmark the pages as a folder
-rename or move the local file
-load the bookmark in tabs

tested results as initialy reported:
first tab opens, second tab throws error (as expected) and opens blank, but
third tab is not opened.

expected results:
open the first, open the second tab blank, then move beyond the error and open
the third tab.

this is idenitical to bug 245588, marking dupe
