Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox :: Session Restore, enhancement)

Description

[Morton Lee Cohen]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1.3) Gecko/20090824 Firefox/3.5.3 (.NET CLR 3.0.04506.648)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1.3) Gecko/20090824 Firefox/3.5.3 (.NET CLR 3.0.04506.648)

I right-clicked and closed a lot of Windows at once and when I restarted Firefox, it attempted to restore all the Windows that I closed.

I searched for Session Restore as an option and can't find it.

Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open Firefox
2.Go to http://www.luckysurf.com/subscribe.html
3.Play your 10 Games.
4.Right-click and close Windows.
Actual Results:  
It closed all windows, but when I reopened Firefox without a reboot of the computer, it attempted to reopen all the Windows.

I want to just go to the Home Page when restarting Firefox, after closing Firefox.

Expected Results:  
Go to the Home Page after reopening Firefox.

I use Firefox to play my LuckySurf Lotto Games.

I wanted to re-use Firefox instead of IE, but it tried to reopen all the windows I closed.

No option to disable the Session Restore and just restart Firefox to go to the Home Page.

Options > General > Startup > Show my home page

It sounds like you have it set to show your windows & tabs from last time.

Nope,

It is set to Show my home page. Verifed to Show my Home Page.

Options > General > Startup > Show my home page

That's why I reported it. Because it is and was set to Show my Home Page.

FireFox 3.5.3

Morton, can you please try to reproduce this behaviour using the latest nightly of Firefox:
ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/nightly/latest-trunk/

If you can reproduce this bug, please give us more details, like any add-ons you have installed, and if this happens when running Firefox with a new profile (http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_Manager#Creating_a_new_profile)

If we hear nothing in 2 weeks, we will assume this is no longer an issue and resolve the bug as WORKSFORME.

It's possible you're actually triggering Firefox to crash instead of quit properly. But I would expect to have heard something about about:sessionrestore...

No reply, INCOMPLETE. Please retest with Firefox 3.6.x or later and a new profile (http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Managing+profiles). If you continue to see this issue with the newest firefox and a new profile, then please comment on this bug.
