352802 - After update, session should be restored

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 311744

(Toolkit :: Application Update, enhancement)

Description

[Andreas Oesterhelt]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; de; rv:1.8.0.7) Gecko/20060909 Firefox/1.5.0.7
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; de; rv:1.8.0.7) Gecko/20060909 Firefox/1.5.0.7

After updating the Firefox software and the subsequent
browser restart, it would be much nicer if Firefox could
re-open all windows and tabs as they were before the restart,
essentially as the SessionSaver extension does.

I'm sure that such a smooth, non-interruptive update processa
could help to encourage users to swiftly adopt security updates.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Choose "Update Firefox" from the Help menu or accept a
pop-up dialogue for an update.

Actual Results:  
After the update & browser restart, only one window is opened,
showing a firefox release notes page.

Expected Results:  
The browser session, i.e. all windows and tabs as they were before the restart,
should be restored, maybe the release notes page opened additionally.

(Essentially the same as the SessionSaver extension does)

This is fixed in Firefox 2
