Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox :: Session Restore, defect)

Description

[Guery Arnez]

This Bug was reported as similar like Bug 621403, I think that this bug must be re-opened but why was invalid in that time and why this issue is reproduced now.

I chose to have Firefox restore my tabs whenever I close it. However, rather than restoring the tabs, it defaults to my homepage. I just switched from Firefox 3.x and it was working fine then.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open several tabs
2.Close Firefox
3.Reopen Firefox and the tabs will be gone
Actual Results:  
All the old tabs were gone, replaced with my homepage.

Expected Results:  
The software should have reloaded my tabs from last time.

This is a fresh install of Firefox 4 on top of a fresh install of Firefox 3.x (I just got this laptop today)

WFM on Firefox 4 (build ID: 20110318052756), on Firefox 26 (build ID: 20131205075310) and on latest nightly.

Please install the latest Firefox version to see if you still reproduce this issue.

Most likely related to cleaning the history:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=534221
(I've been searching for a similar bug in order to not open duplicatess)

Expected behaviour: Restore tabs, but don't remember visited pages nor the tab's history. 

Actual behaviour: Shows only homepage, contrary to what I requested.

Also affected Iceweasel/FF 31.3.0 (Debian)
