Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 368677

(Firefox :: Session Restore, defect)

I set my browser to always remember tabs on closing and to open them when Firefox starts again. If there are pop-ups or multiple windows when I close the browser(s), it saves the page on the pop-up or second window (depending on the order that I close them) and I lose the tabs that I really want it to remember.

Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a pop-up or a second window.
2. Close main window with tabs first, then all the pop-ups and other windows.
3. Start browser again.
Actual Results:  
The browser remembers the tabs in the last window closed, but not the others.

Expected Results:  
If there is more than one window (particularly if there are pop-ups, ask me if I want to save tabs when I try to close any of the windows.

That's actually per design - except that we don't handle popups in an ideal way yet -> DUPE.
