Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox :: Session Restore, defect)

Description

[Brennan J. McCalley]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2b5) Gecko/20091204 Firefox/3.6b5
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2b5) Gecko/20091204 Firefox/3.6b5

Using Firefox 3.6 Beta 5, when clearing the everything in the cache and restarting the program Firefox sometimes reports that it has crashed when in fact it has shut down normally.  The problem only appears when clearing the everything from your recent history and restarting, and I have never seen the window appear at any other time.  This message seems to be rather new as well as I haven't seen it in previous versions.

I hope this helps.  Firefox rocks!

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Navigate to Firefox Start page
2.Clear everything from recent history (all boxes checked)
3.Immediately restart program
Actual Results:  
Sometimes the program will report that it has crashed when it hasn't.

Expected Results:  
Software should have started normally without message

What message, specifically? If you're getting the Mozilla Crash Reporter, then post your crash ID:

Hi, Dave.  No, it's not the crash reporter and the program never actually crashes.  The windows appears sometimes when I launch the program after previously clearing everything.  It asks me if I want to restore my previous session...which is odd because all previous data was erased and the session intentionally closed.  Unfortunately I can't reproduce it just this minute so I can't read exactly what it says.  That's all I have for now... Keep up the good work :)
