Hi Scott, you reported this bug some time ago and there have been many changes in Ubuntu and Firefox since that time.
Presumably this problem is no longer an issue? Can the bug report now be closed? If we do not hear from you the bug report will close itself in approximately 60 days time. Thank you again for helping make Ubuntu better.

Status in firefox package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: With the latest FF (or perhaps one version before?) a weird thing happens when I start up my FF profile: Once all the windows and tabs are loaded, and I peruse the list of windows in my bottom panel, I will see things that were NOT as I left them when I shut FF down last. Ex. I see that one window has the focus tab (the one tab per window that actually gets loaded when FF starts up) has the text "BBQ Crock Pot..." This is a recipe that I no longer need, and have deleted - several times. The 4 tabs that follow that tab I also deleted. I have just deleted them again, but I know that when I start FF tomorrow, THERE they will be again... Next, there is a tab labeled "Rochester Gas..." a site where I can find low gas prices here in Rochester, NY. Now I know that when I leave this window, I leave it on the Weather tab almost every time. Probably once in the last couple of weeks it was on the gas prices tab when I shut FF down. Apparently THAT was the day that FF keeps resurrecting (for that window, at least...) Another window tab shows the correct tab, Google Translate, but when I go there to translate something, the text that it resurrects from "the last time" is actually from several sessions (maybe a week?) before (and naturally, it is something embarrassing that I wouldn't want people to see...! Of course.) Although it has finally gone away, there was one time that I opened up a window to look up probably 8 to 10 things on the same subject, finished with them, deleted the tabs, and then the window - but then had the window/tabs reappear every time FF loaded, perhaps for the next 4-5 days. --- Basically - something changed in FF that causes it to not load the most recent windows/tabs, but some earlier set. Now... this could mean that when shut down, FF IS saving the windows and tabs, but not loading the most recent set when re-starting.... OR FF is not always saving windows/tabs every time it shuts down, but is resurrecting the most recent copy it has available... Those are the two scenarios that I have thought up, but of course there are probably others... --- [NOTE: before I invoked ubuntu-bug to file this report, there was a weird problem that caused Amazon.com pages to display improperly and be almost unresponsive (memory problem? FF problem? Amazon problem? - who knows...) Anyway, I decided it would be good to shut FF down and restart. Apparently FF crashed during the shut-down (I had to delete .parentlock before I could restart the profile). So ubuntu-bug probably will have pulled in stuff that relates to that crash, that will have nothing to do with the bug I am reporting, as it is not a crash - merely weird behavior. ] ---------------------------------------------------------------- scott@scott-Asus-M2N68-AM-Plus:~$ uname -a Linux scott-Asus-M2N68-AM-Plus 4.4.0-31-generic #50-Ubuntu SMP Wed Jul 13 00:06:14 UTC 2016 i686 athlon i686 GNU/Linux scott@scott-Asus-M2N68-AM-Plus:~$ lsb_release -dsc Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS xenial scott@scott-Asus-M2N68-AM-Plus:~$ echo $DESKTOP_SESSION Lubuntu ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 16.04 Package: firefox 47.0+build3-0ubuntu0.16.04.1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.4.0-31.50-generic 4.4.13 Uname: Linux 4.4.0-31-generic i686 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia AddonCompatCheckDisabled: False ApportVersion: 2.20.1-0ubuntu2.1 Architecture: i386 AudioDevicesInUse: USER PID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/snd/pcmC0D0p: scott 1240 F...m pulseaudio /dev/snd/controlC0: scott 1240 F.... pulseaudio /dev/snd/controlC2: scott 1240 F.... pulseaudio /dev/snd/controlC1: scott 1240 F.... pulseaudio BuildID: 20160606113900 Channel: Unavailable CurrentDesktop: LXDE Date: Tue Jul 26 23:25:47 2016 DefaultProfileIncompatibleExtensions: English (South Africa) Language Pack - langpack-en...@firefox.mozilla.org English (GB) Language Pack - langpack-en...@firefox.mozilla.org Default - {972ce4c6-7e08-4474-a285-3208198ce6fd} DefaultProfilePlugins: Shockwave Flash - /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/libflashplayer.so DefaultProfilePrefSources: prefs.js ForcedLayersAccel: False IfupdownConfig: # interfaces(5) file used by ifup(8) and ifdown(8) auto lo iface lo inet loopback InstallationDate: Installed on 2016-05-05 (83 days ago) InstallationMedia: Lubuntu 16.04 LTS "Xenial Xerus" - Release i386 (20160420.1) IpRoute: default via 192.168.0.1 dev enp0s7 192.168.0.0/24 dev enp0s7 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.0.2 MostRecentCrashID: bp-44f9dd73-a7cd-4e42-bc1b-3aa0f2160727 PciNetwork: Profile1IncompatibleExtensions: Global Menu Bar integration - globalm...@ubuntu.com English (South Africa) Language Pack - langpack-en...@firefox.mozilla.org English (GB) Language Pack - langpack-en...@firefox.mozilla.org Default - {972ce4c6-7e08-4474-a285-3208198ce6fd} Profile1PrefSources: prefs.js Profile2Extensions: extensions.sqlite corrupt or missing Profile2IncompatibleExtensions: Unavailable (corrupt or non-existant compatibility.ini or extensions.sqlite) Profile2Locales: extensions.sqlite corrupt or missing Profile2Plugins: Shockwave Flash - /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/libflashplayer.so Profile2PrefSources: prefs.js Profile2Themes: extensions.sqlite corrupt or missing Profiles: Profile0 (Default) - LastVersion=47.0/20160606113900 (In use) Profile1 - LastVersion=28.0/20140410211157 (Out of date) Profile2 - LastVersion=47.0/20160606113900 RfKill: RunningIncompatibleAddons: True SourcePackage: firefox SubmittedCrashIDs: bp-44f9dd73-a7cd-4e42-bc1b-3aa0f2160727 bp-cb6c0288-10f2-4cc9-afdd-662552160622 bp-062d78b9-0997-469d-ac2b-2c25f2160620 bp-33012966-2403-4ed0-a9f0-e94f02160519 bp-649eea70-f030-4f17-857b-f9eeb2160510 UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) dmi.bios.date: 06/10/2010 dmi.bios.vendor: American Megatrends Inc. dmi.bios.version: 1802 dmi.board.asset.tag: To Be Filled By O.E.M. dmi.board.name: M2N68-AM Plus dmi.board.vendor: ASUSTeK Computer INC. dmi.board.version: Rev X.0x dmi.chassis.asset.tag: Asset-1234567890 dmi.chassis.type: 3 dmi.chassis.vendor: Chassis Manufacture dmi.chassis.version: Chassis Version dmi.modalias: dmi:bvnAmericanMegatrendsInc.:bvr1802:bd06/10/2010:svnSystemmanufacturer:pnSystemProductName:pvrSystemVersion:rvnASUSTeKComputerINC.:rnM2N68-AMPlus:rvrRevX.0x:cvnChassisManufacture:ct3:cvrChassisVersion: dmi.product.name: System Product Name dmi.product.version: System Version dmi.sys.vendor: System manufacturer To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/1606763/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
