I have "Show my windows and tabs from last time" enabled and if i logout from X with firefox running i will get the restore dialog when starting firefox next time.
Would be nice if firefox can handle this forced exit in a cleaner way so the restore dialog dont show up.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open two firefox windows
2. send SIGTERM to firefox
3. start firefox
Actual Results:  
restore dialog shown

Expected Results:  
session restored (no restore dialog)

The process IS killed so it's not a clean exit. If you never want to see the crash dialog, set browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes to a very high value or -1.

you're not actually asking about sigterm, you're asking about honoring session management. we have a bug for that.

I thought a SIGTERM is what is sent to apps when i logout from X.
Sounds promising, if i can avoid this dialog when restarting FF after i exited X with FF running im happy.

it should have been bug 93789. but i can't figure out what happened.

the general idea is that when you close your session, the system starts by sending "please save-quit" messages to apps, any apps that don't respond get kill'd.

The general feeling I'm getting on this bug is "this is expected/as-designed" and therefor not a bug.

Resolving this as INVALID.  If this is in error, please reopen with your justification as to why it is a bug.
