598588 - Session restore page only knows about windows and tabs but not tab groups

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 591911

(Firefox Graveyard :: Panorama, defect, P3)

Description

[Stefan Fleiter (:sfleiter)]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:2.0b6) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0b6
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:2.0b6) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0b6

When after a crash about:sessionrestore is opened ones tabs
are grouped in windows and tabs.
That is realy old school.
If one has adapted to tab groups one does search tabs in them and not in
windows.
So the dialog should be readjusted to that.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open some tab groups with several tabs in each of them
2. make browser crash (kill -9)
3. open browser

Actual Results:  
about:sessionrestore is shown.
You get angry because in your many many tabs you do not find the important ones.

Expected Results:  
All tabs are grouped in their tab groups so you find your tabs quickly.

This doesn't seem like it's going to happen for ff4.0, but I know we want it eventually. 

Paul, would this be done by you? Should it go under the sessionstore component?

Possibly. Anybody could do it if they're up for it. We can talk about that more over in bug 591911.

Indeed :)
