User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.16) Gecko/20110319 Firefox/3.6.16 GTB7.1 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.16) Gecko/20110319 Firefox/3.6.16 GTB7.1 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)

Should be able to restore previous session.  Does not do it on its own. Tried about:sessionrestore & session list is displayed, but will not restore.  Have Session Manager add-on & it will not restore sessions, either.  I re-booted the operating system & no change. Can't find any way to recover lost session.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Start FireFox
2.Try to use about:sessionrestore
3.
Actual Results:  
No action performed by FireFox.

Expected Results:  
Session should be restored.

Prior to update to FireFox 3.6.16, FireFox would display a session restore tab & when the session was selected & the button to restore the session was selected, the session would be restored. [ I was also able to restore sessions with the Session Manager add-on]

Not sure what else is broken. Have not gotten past attempting to recover lost session.

Also, the TooManyTabs add-on is no longer operating properly.  When you send tabs to TooManyTabs, they don't show up.

Also the Previous/Next buttons do not work.
The reload page button does not work.
The stop loading page button does not work.

I believe this problem was caused by an add-on.  I'm not sure which one, yet.  However, I disabled the ones I just added & the problems went away.  The add-ons I disabled were: 
Add to Amazon Wish List Button 1.4
Nero Toolbar 3.11.3.15590
PrivacyChoice TrackerWatcher 1.0.9  [Most likely cause of problem.]

I will update this report when I think I know which add-on that probably caused the problem...

Resolving WORKSFORME since this is clearly an add-on issue. Please comment here when you figure out what add-on is causing the issue so we can do some outreach to the add-on developer.

Thanks
