Same thing happens if a pop-up has opened in the background and you choose to quit firefox and the program closes the main window before the pop-up, although that may be "working as intended". Same thing happens in version 2. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open FF and browse a few tabs (having restore tabs on startup activated) 2. Open Extensions window 3. Close main then extensions window and restart firefox. Actual Results: I get a blank session and my blood pressure increases about 200% Expected Results: FF should restore the tabs, the extension window should not overwrite the tab session (at least that's how I would expect it to work). Ignore the extension window and save the tabs open in the actual browser window.

That WORKSFORME using Firefox 3.0 RC1. Should work for Firefox 2.0 as well. Can you reproduce this behavior on a clean profile (or with all extensions disabled)? > Same thing happens if a pop-up has opened in the background and you > choose to quit firefox and the program closes the main window before > the pop-up, although that may be "working as intended". That's a different issue: bug 368677.
