A solution for this issue is to use the session restore from the "tab mix plus" plugin.

Does this occur if you start Firefox in safe mode (without extensions)?

Good question and the answer is no ! It works fine when I start firefox without extensions so I activated and deactivated my plugins one by one to find which one was causing this behavior and it is the plugin ChmFox (v.2.2) quite strange could you please install this plugin and reproduce of your side ?

I can reproduce with that extension installed, but that's an issue with the extension. The author of it should investigate further and hopefully figure out the issue! Since there's a binary component of the addon, it's difficult to say exactly what's going on.

If the author find a problem with Firefox we'd be happy to look into it.

Resolving invalid since it's an extension issue. Thanks for reporting and investigating Adam!

Ok cool, happy to see we found what's going on. Do you inform the author of the chmfox extension of that problem ? Should I do it ? Thanks

The following message was sent to the ChmFox extension author : In firefox 12 when the ChmFox (v.2.2) extension is installed it breaks the session restore of firefox. The exact bug is reported here https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=753756 could you please add comment on this page so that people following the issue keep being informed. Thanks for developing ChmFox.
