I had closed firefox 3 (stable), to install the beta version of firefox, I told it to save my tabs.  After installing firefox 3 beta, I uninstalled firefox 3 (stable).  If I closed firefox I told it to forget my tabs (quit).  However every time I opened it back up it would still have those tabs from when I did the first install.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Save Tabs and Close Firefox 3 (stable)
2. Install Firefox 3 (beta)
3. Open Firefox 3 (beta) (you see the saved times from before)
4. Uninstall Firefox 3 (stable)
5. Close the tabs from before.
6. Close Firefox 3 (beta) don't save tabs (Quit)
7. Open Firefox 3 (beta) again, tabs are still their.
Actual Results:  
The bug in question.

Expected Results:  
The tabs to have been removed.

I use Windows 7 Beta, I had a fresh install with default settings.

Does this issue still occur? If so, please check that the file sessionstore.js in Firefox's profile folder <http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Profiles> isn't write-locked (resp. that you can just delete it).

Resolving as INCOMPLETE due to a lack of response to comment #2.
