If a javascript popup window is opened without an (with a read-only) address bar, and/or without scrollbars, neither of these settings is remembered when the window is reopened when restarting firefox: The address bar allows edits and the scroll bar becomes visible.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a javascript popup, e.g. the "Show current title" popup at http://www.radioswissclassic.ch/
2. Observe the popup window has a disabled address bar and no scrollbar, even when resized to be too small
3. Quit Firefox, remembering your windows and tabs
4. Restart Firefox
Actual Results:  
The popup window has an editable address bar and a scrollbar

Expected Results:  
The popup window should appear with a disabled address bar and no scrollbar, like when it was originally opened.

Observed primarily on Ubuntu Firefox, but also present in the current Linux trunk nightly.

So I'm going to half confirm and then steal this bug. Doing testing in another bug, the scrollbars are definitely not being hidden on restart, but the location bar is disabled.

That said, it looks like the scrollbars issue is deeper than just session restore. |window.scrollbars.visible| is always true, even when they are obviously hidden. Then session store thinks the scrollbars are visible when they aren't, so we don't mark them as hidden when we save state.

Please: is this still an issue?
