631786 - Restoring tabs from history overwrites tabs already open

Status: VERIFIED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox :: Session Restore, defect)

Description

[Skotavus]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-GB; rv:1.9.2.13) Gecko/20101203 Firefox/3.6.13 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-GB; rv:1.9.2.13) Gecko/20101203 Firefox/3.6.13 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)

When attempting to reopen tabs lost to a close of Mozilla (where the "You are about to close X tabs" did not appear) via the History menu, I opened several tabs that I wanted individually.

Then, I attempted to select multiple History entries with Ctrl+click and selected "Open all in tabs" from the right-click drop down menu. This opened all the tabs I had selected, but actually navigated to the selected URLs on the tabs I already had open.

The Back button on the overwritten tab shows the page that was navigated away from and I can get back to that using the middle-click function, but surely it would be better to "Open all in NEW tabs" when using the History menu.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open new session of Mozilla
2. Open tabs individually from the History menu
3. Select multiple tabs from the History menu and select "Open all in tabs"
Actual Results:  
Selected multiple tabs all opened, but navigated away from the URLs of the individually opened tabs before opening any new tabs.

Expected Results:  
Opened all the multiple selected tabs in new tabs, not altering the tabs already open.

Can you reproduce this issue in the latest Minefield nightly or Firefox 4.0b11? If not, this is likely WONTFIX.

Resolving INCOMPLETE due to lack of feedback from the reporter.
