Public bug reported: SUMMARY
The Firefox add-on Tab Mix Plus has a session manager that allows you to manually store and retrieve previous sessions, including automatically- saved sessions when Firefox closes normally or crashes. When Canonical's Firefox Global Menu Bar Integration add-on is enabled, this prevents restoring a previous session. No error message is given. The Global Menu Bar Integration add-on should not affect other add-ons like this. HOW TO DUPLICATE 1. Install Tab Mix Plus, enabling its session manager. https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/tab-mix-plus/ 2. Open two or more tabs. 3. Close Firefox. 4. Re-open Firefox. 5. Try to restore the previous session: Tools > Session Manager > Last Session. Although the session is listed, nothing happens. Now, disable the Global Menu Bar Integration add-on and repeat the steps. This time, the last session will be restored. VERSIONS AFFECTED I have tested this on: * Ubuntu 11.04 64-bit * Ubuntu 11.10 64-bit (fresh installation with no add-ons other than the defaults and Tab Mix Plus) I have been unable to test on Ubuntu 12.04 (alpha) as I cannot get it to run.
