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.

Title:
Recently, when FF starts up, not all of the restored windows/tabs are
the most recent ones.
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. ]
