459448 - Back-page doesn't work and home page is forgotten after computer hiberates

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.0.3) Gecko/2008092417 Firefox/3.0.3

Since the latest code release,  the green "back" and "forward" arrows gray out after the computer hibernates when I leave if the keyboard for too long. Thus, it is impossible to use those functions. The home page setting also is forgotten and the browser goes to the Firefox home page instead.  The little circle keeps spinning on the left side of each tab, so it looks like the page is loading even after it has done so. Restarting the broswer does not help.  You have to restart the whole computer and then everything is fine again.    

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Let XP machine hibernate
2. Wake it up
3. Try to back space

wfm with FF3.0.3 and vista.
Did you try to close firefox, open the taskmanager and look if there is still a firefox process in the taskmanager ?
It looks like Firefox can not access it's profile.
