Description

[Ioana Chiorean]

Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Android; Linux armv7l; rv:2.0b11pre)
Gecko/20110126 Firefox/4.0b11pre Fennec/4.0b4pre

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open more than one tab
2. Kill the application
3. Open the application
4. Open all tabs 
5. Kill the application
6. Open the application

Expected result:
- the about:home appears with a list of tabs from last session

Actual result:
- First time (step 3) a page about:home appears as expected.
- Second time (step 6) all tabs from last time are opened in separates tabs. 

Note:
- if we want to make all tabs restored, we shall do that at first time to
- if we want a behavior as on desktop, we shall first restore all tabs and after, at next killing to open a page about:home with the list of tabs from last session.

Mark, any ideas about what's happening here?

Looks like the session from the first set of steps was not saved or not loaded so the restore in step #3 failed. That sounds like a bug, and we might have one like that filed already.

We never open about:home when restoring session. That would be a separate feature request.
