435098 - saved tabs lost and session not at all restored

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 435055

(Firefox :: Session Restore, defect)

Description

[Stephen Luebkert]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9) Gecko/2008051206 Firefox/3.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9) Gecko/2008051206 Firefox/3.0

Had approx. 36 tabs open and shut down computer with FF running. Session Restore popped up as it should upon next boot, but my entire session was not restored. Also, I thought that this version would have "Tab Mix Plus-Like" saving of the entire session, and allowing it to restore upon next start.

Also, no option to abort installation or downgrade if certain Add-Ons (i.e. Tab Mix Plus) are incompatible with the new revision.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. have a bunch of tabs open to several different URLs
2. intentionally crash FF (e.g. via Windows Shut Down)
3. start FF on next boot, notice tabs are not restored
Actual Results:  
No tabs were restored.

Expected Results:  
It should have restored all 30-something tabs.

I have the following Add-Ons installed:

Enabled:
Adblock Plus 0.7.5.4
Download Statusbar 0.9.6.1
NoScript 1.6.5

Disabled (FF version incompatibility):
Fasterfox 2.0.0
Skype Extension for Firefox 2.2.0.70
Speed Dial 0.7.0.8
Tab Mix Plus 0.3.6

See bug 435055 comment #6 for how to re-enable Firefox' Session Restore component which was disabled by Tab Mix Plus (and stuck that way even if TMP was disabled itself).

Thanks, Simon. Sorry about the dupe. I've changed the setting you pointed me to back to true. Still, I'm scared to close FF now! :)
