(Firefox :: Session Restore, defect)

Description

[Faisal]

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

When the browser crashes, or ends nonresponsively, Firefox 3, on next restart, opens with 1 tab only, even though there were several tabs open and were supposed to open. Only when FF3 is exited again, and reopened, that the tabs reappear and function normally.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Restart the PC with the 'restart' button from the CPU with Firefox 3 open.
2. Restart Firefox.
3. Only 1 tab appears.
Actual Results:  
Only 1 tab appeared.

Expected Results:  
Reopened all tabs which were open before crash/restart.

I have the option to show previous tabs open, just so u know.

Can you still reproduce this on a recent version of Firefox? In safe mode?

What's in sessionstore.js in your profile before you get 1 tab on start (which tab is it - part of the stored session or a home tab?) and before you start to see the whole session restored?

The issue seems to have been fixed in the recent Firefox 3.5 . All works fine now.
Thanks.
