When restoring a session with a # in the URL, firefox leaves the page blank. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
Please indicate actual steps to reproduce (like: 1. Open http://www.example.net/#test in a new tab 2. Close Firefox and have it save your tabs 3. Start Firefox Expected result: The page is correctly restored. Actual result: ...? [I do get the expected results, thus WORKSFORME]).

i'm sorry, i tried your steps and they just work. the problem i experience surely happens with gmail, but only the first time each day and on special occasions, such as restarting after add-ons updates. that is, this morning i launched firefox and found a blank page for gmail. i then restarted and saw the gmail login page. i suspect it could be a BetterGmail2 bug, but i don't know how to investigate. the only idea that comes to me is to open a tab to http://www.example.net/#test before quitting, tonight, to see what happens tomorrow morning. suggestions? sorry again for the imprecise segnalation.
(In reply to comment #2) > i suspect it could be a BetterGmail2 bug, but i don't know how to investigate. Try disabling that extension for two days. If you don't experience the bug during that period, you'll have to inform BetterGmail2's author about a bug in his/her extension...
Summary: urls with # don't get restored. → urls with # don't get restored (GMail only?)
Pietro: Have you been able to determine whether it was BetterGmail2's fault (or due to any other extension for that matter)?
(In reply to comment #4) > Pietro: Have you been able to determine whether it was BetterGmail2's fault (or > due to any other extension for that matter)? BetterGmail2 got updated recently, and now it doesn't happen anymore. so i think that this issue may be closed. pietro
