891573 - Firefox no longer saving tabs

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox :: Session Restore, defect)

Description

[aracrap]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.0; WOW64; rv:22.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/22.0 (Beta/Release)
Build ID: 20130618035212

Steps to reproduce:

1. ensure prefs set to alwas save tabs upon closing ff.
2. make a session with multiple tabs on various sites.


Actual results:

1. Observe that ff prompts you with an are you sure dialog box, as if it is NOT configured to save your tabs upon closing ff.
2. The only way to quit ff is to say you are sure you want to close n tabs.


Expected results:

when restarting ff, all previous tabs are blown away without any way to recover them.
The 'always save my tabs' preference is totally broken and I can not find any way to retain my tabs between sessions.

aracrap?
If you no longer use firefox, please state so.
Otherwise, additional feedback is needed.
