407198 - programmatic restart does not fire window onload for the window that initiated the restart

Status: UNCONFIRMED

(Toolkit :: Startup and Profile System, defect)

Description

[Nikitas Liogkas]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1) Gecko/20061010 Firefox/2.0 XPCOMViewer/0.9.5
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1) Gecko/20061010 Firefox/2.0 XPCOMViewer/0.9.5

Scenario: there are multiple browser windows open, and one uses  Components.classes["@mozilla.org/toolkit/app-startup;1"].getService(nsIAppStartup)      .quit(nsIAppStartup.eRestart) to restart Firefox, e.g. from an extension.

When Firefox restarts, all windows are restored, with tabs and everything. However, the onload handler for the window the restart was initiated from, is not fired. As a result, setup that needs to be done onload for that window is not performed.
