User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2) Gecko/20100115 Firefox/3.6 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2) Gecko/20100115 Firefox/3.6 When using the "save & quit" tab feature in 3.6 while another session of firefox is running some or all the bookmarks will be lost or corrupted,(you couldn't "save & quit" in previous versions when another session was running). The other session is usually a streaming web radio broadcast with limited menu options, which does not shut down when the regular session is shut down using the "save & quit". Upon start up, especially after shutting down the streaming session, the bookmarks will be effected. Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1.start firefox, and then start a streaming broadcast from it in another window 2.shut down main session. 3.Now restart firefox (either after shutting down the streaming session or not)Some or all bookmarks will be missing and/or corrupted. Actual Results: Some or all bookmarks will be missing and/or corrupted. Gets worse with each restart until all bookmarks are lost. Expected Results: "save & quit" tab feature should shut down all running sessions of firefox while preserving bookmarks and tabs in each session OR not allow the "save & quit" tab feature while other sessions are running as in previous versions.
