Package: iceweasel
Version: 2.0.0.6-0etch1+lenny1
Severity: normal
I always set cookies to expire at the end of session. Today I realized
with surprise that this wasn't really happening. It turns out cookies
are kept when "When Iceweasel starts" is set to "Show my windows and
tabs from last time". This is quite nasty as it is totally unexpected,
quiet and reduces privacy.

Thanks for you answer. I think we can agree this is a feature. If you
are concerned about privacy, why would you want to reopen the tabs
anyway ? ;)
