This should be wontfixed, checking if the tab was successfully transferred across multiple sessions of Firefox is either impossible or difficult.

Reporter, please test with Firefox 3.6. If you are still able to see such a behavior, start Firefox in Safe Mode (http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode) to  check if an extension is the cause of the mentioned issue.
