919267 - Tabs incompletely restored on Firefox restart

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: Session Restore, defect)

Description

[Cy 'kkm' K'Nnelson]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:24.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/24.0 (Beta/Release)
Build ID: 20130910160258

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open a few tabs.
2. Make sure the option "Show my tabs and windows from last time" is selected in Tools/Options, General tab.
3. Close and then re-start Firefox (optionally holding the Shift to disable addons).


Actual results:

Firefox starts with the correct number of tabs, but every one of them is empty, and has the title "New Tab."


Expected results:

Expected that the tabs opened as they were when Firefox was closed, as it worked pre upgrade to version 24.

I could not replicate this with the latest nightly in x86 win7.

Please make a new profile and see if you can reproduce this again.

Sorry, I cannot reproduce it any more for the life of me. I installed 25b1 on top of it; now when I run version 24 with exact same profile it restores the tabs either. I understand this does not help at all--sorry about that.

Ok, I will resolve this as WORKSFORME. If you come again across this situation try and see if you can reproduce it in a fresh profile with addons disabled. If you cannot reproduce it in a fresh profile but you can reproduce it in current profile then to find out what modified option is the culprit. Good Luck!
