401442 - Buttons to "Restore Old Session" or start "New Session" aren't in the same place

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox :: Session Restore, defect)

Description

[Brian Kreulen]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1.8) Gecko/20071022 Ubuntu/7.10 (gutsy) Firefox/2.0.0.8
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1.8) Gecko/20071022 Ubuntu/7.10 (gutsy) Firefox/2.0.0.8

When Firefox closes unexpectedly and is restarted, the user is presented with a choice to continue where they left off, or to start a new session. These buttons are not in the same order in the Linux version as in the Windows version. Seeing as how I use Linux at home, and Windows at work, this is really annoying.

This is probably deliberate, as the Windows & Linux have different standard positions for the default button. You probably noticed it's the same for Ok/Cancel pairs.

Oh well, I guess I'll have to live with it... Thanks for your time!

The buttons are placed according to platform conventions. -> INVALID

If you want to be able to always hit the same spot no matter what the OS, try [Enter] for resuming the previous session and [Esc] for starting a new one.
