Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 398817

(Firefox :: Session Restore, defect)

Description

[Todd Whitford]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9) Gecko/2008052906 Firefox/3.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9) Gecko/2008052906 Firefox/3.0

I just downloaded the final release for Firefox 3 this morning (6/18/2008 @9AM).

When I close a window with multiple tabs, I get the request to quit, save tabs and quit, etc.  I click "Save and Quit" to remember my tabs when I reopen Firefox. When I reopen Firefox, I get simply one untitled tab; no homepage, no previous sites, just a blank tab.

Thanks for the great work guys! The new Firefox is great!

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open multiple tabs with different sites (I had gmail, google docs, and a couple basic websites open)
2.Close the browser by clicking "X" in the top-right corner, when prompted, click "Save and Quit" to save tabs.
3.Reopen Firefox
Actual Results:  
Firefox opened with an untitled tab only. No home page, just a blank tab.

Expected Results:  
Should have opened my previous tabs when I opened Firefox.

This could be either
* due to you clearing all History data at shutdown (bug 398817) or
* due to a disabled Tab Mix Plus having left you with the wrong preferences (bug 435055)

Which one is it?

Duping to the more probable cause of this issue.

Todd: Please reopen this bug if you weren't clearing all History data at shutdown.
