Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 373949

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X; en; rv:1.8.1.2pre) Gecko/20070223 Camino/1.1b

PreviousSessionTerminatedNormally in org.mozilla.Camino.plist is used by Camino on startup to determine whether it need to restore (crashed) session for user.

As in my understanding about this logic, the properly behavior should be:
1. Camino set its value to NO on start-up
2. Camino set its value to YES on clean quit

As a result of this behavior, after Camino normally quits, its value is YES and didn't need to be restored next start. And if Camino quitted unclean (crashed, forced quit, etc.), it have no chance to set it to YES, so it's NO, and in the next start-up it can restore the session.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Start Camino and quit it normally
2.execute 'defaults read org.mozilla.Camino PreviousSessionTerminatedNormally' in Terminal, and it prints 'YES'
3.Start Camino again, and keep it running
4.execute 'defaults read org.mozilla.Camino PreviousSessionTerminatedNormally' again
Actual Results:  
it prints 'YES'

Expected Results:  
it should print 'NO'

As a result of this, Camino only restore crashed sessions if I set 'PreviousSessionTerminatedNormally' to 'NO' before starting it. not automatically after any crash. This makes the crash recovery feature unusable.
