Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 506114

(Firefox :: Session Restore, defect)

Description

[Andrew Allison]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.3) Gecko/20100401 Firefox/3.6.3 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.3) Gecko/20100401 Firefox/3.6.3 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)

If Firefox is closed by the OS (as in Start/Turn Off Computer/Turnoff) with more than one tab open and Options set to Start at Home Page, it tries (and, obviously, fails) to restore the previous session. Selecting "restore" in Options and closing just Firefox results in the session being saved and restored.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.sSystem shut-down with multiple tabs open
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
"Well, this is embarrassing . . ."

Expected Results:  
Open Home page

So what's happening here is that Firefox is showing a dialog asking if you want to save your session. That's preventing Windows from shutting down and so Windows kills the process, which causes Firefox to think you crashed before.

Not much we can do here besides assuming your intent.
