545098 - Session manager failed to restore properly after a crash.

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox :: Session Restore, defect)

Description

[Rhys Jenkins]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.9.1.7) Gecko/20091221 Firefox/3.5.7 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)

After a crash (Firefox has stopped working) I clicked on the 'restart Firefox' button and it did indeed restart but only restored the window that I was look at when it crashed.  The other window with (I think 5 tabs) did not restore, nor was the information available in the session manager in the tools menu.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1.not known
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
Only one window opened instead of two.

Expected Results:  
Both windows should have reopened.

This has happened before but does not happen very often.

This appears to be a bug report for Session Manager, which is an extension. I don't know to what extent it interacts with the built in Session Restore functionality, but I would suggest getting in touch with the developer of that extension.

Session Manager on AMO: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2324

You cat point the developer to this bug and it can be reopened if this is indeed a problem with Firefox and not specific to the extension.
