Status: UNCONFIRMED

(Firefox :: Session Restore, enhancement)

Description

[em28em28]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:2.0b11) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0b11
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:2.0b11) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0b11

I define FF to start with the tab of the last session.
As firefox starts it start with the apps tab from last session,
but it is not refreshed - meaning if it was the CNN site u'll get the news of yesterday.

i think apps tabs should behaive like the old tabs of FF3.6 and the user  should not hit the refresh button in order to start.

I've tested this issue on a new, clean, fresh profile - it happend with all my profiles.
here is the about:support of the profile (FF4.0b11 He-IL):

So actually you're asking for App Tab's Content not to be Session saved.
What about User Input, Scrolling State etc. what usually also gets restored?

Comment 2

[em28em28]

I wish apps tabs to act as a regular tab.
It is nice to have my favorite tabs to be shrink as a pin tab but I think it should behave first of all as a tab.

It is likely that this bug is the same as Bug 645549.

Comment 4

No, it's different. While bug 645549 is about not changing the URL this bug is about refreshing the page which was open before closing Firefox.
