[bugday-20140127]Confirmed on Windows 7 32bit with FF 29.0a1 (2014-01-26)

i see the same behavior in Windows 7 FFV 26

Additional information:
Be sure the set: When Nighty starts to " Show my window and tabs from the last time"

But wher is a related issue is the fact that on the FF version29.0a1 (2014-01-26)the box you select responsive design in turns white in responsive design and does not go away until you click on it. This does not happen in FF26

I can reproduce this issue with latest Nightly on XP 32-bit.

Restoring a tab also doesn't reopen the DevTools, which seems to be connected.

I have the same problem here https://www.alvarado.cz/, my version of Mozila is the current, 37.0.2.

At the moment, I think the current behavior to _not_ restore RDM when restoring a tab is the safer, better choice, as it allows session restore to be focused on getting the content alone restored.  It also allows us to keep DevTools separate from the browser's session / tab restore facilities.

If it turns out that everyone is surprised by this behavior, we can rethink this choice.
