582741 - App tabs aren't saved between different windows and sessions.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 575560

(Firefox :: Tabbed Browser, defect)

Description

[Dor A.]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:2.0b2) Gecko/20100720 Firefox/4.0b2
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:2.0b2) Gecko/20100720 Firefox/4.0b2

Firefox NEVER remembers the App tabs that I create (see reproduction steps).

If this is how App tabs should properly function, then they're absolutely useless, they're just smaller versions of the normal tabs. They still require the effort of opening each and every one of them, so the whole "important, often used websites" idea is utterly meaningless. I think they should be like the homepage, and also be there all the time.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Turn a tab into an App tab.
2. Close Firefox.
3. Run Firefox.

AND/OR:

1. Turn a tab into an App tab.
2. Open a new Firefox window.
Actual Results:  
The App tab you previously created is not there.

Expected Results:  
The App tab you previously created should have been remembered and automatically opened upon Firefox's start.

I have two distinct profiles and installation directories for Firefox 3.6.7 and Firefox 4.0 beta 2. I run each of the browsers using "-p <profilename>" in their shortcuts' command line.

Thanks for the report however this is fixed in nightly builds and will be in the next beta in a few weeks.
